Hares are cannibals and eat meat, surprising photos reveal

The consumption of dead flesh by herbivores is increasingly being observed in nature, scientists report in the December issue of Bio One. Look no further than the snowshoe hare, normally a herbivore: Between January 2015 and July 2017, Canadian researchers observed hares eating the flesh of grouse, Canadian lynx, and even other hares. Normally, the population cycles of snowshoe hares and lynx are closely linked, but it’s typically the lynx eating the hare as its primary food source. The natural order, however, seems to be turning upside down.

“There have been reports of hares scavenging in older natural history observations, but I was surprised by the frequency that they scavenge and the diversity of species they will consume meat from — particularly the Canada lynx, given they are the main predator of snowshoe hares,” first author Michael Peerstells Inverse.

A series of motion captured images from December, 2015 showing a snowshoe hare eating the feathers of a dead spruce grouse. FROM THE PAPER SCAVENGING BY SNOWSHOE HARES (LEPUS AMERICANUS) IN YUKON, CANADA
