LET'S SAVE ALL THE PAGES IN THE BOOK OF NATURE! 219

This book will tell you about nature: about big trees and small beetles, about loud, cheerful birds and silent, gloomy spiders, about wonderful flowers, colorful butterflies, furry bumblebees and about the simplest grass under your feet.
The book is called " Green Pages" Why green? Because this color is a symbol of living nature. Why pages? The fact is that nature itself can be compared to a big, fascinating book. Every flower, every bird, every butterfly is the page of the Book of Nature. Reading it means knowing, studying nature. True, it is not so easy to read.
Imagine: somewhere on the edge of a forest you are standing and looking around. A black beetle will run by, rustling dry leaves from last year, at your feet. A hurried jay flashes among the branches. A blue bell will sway in the wind... And no one will tell you or even whisper: “Look at me, what a beautiful, interesting, very necessary inhabitant of the forest I am!”
Our book will help you learn to read the Book of Nature. Notice the surprising and extraordinary in the familiar and everyday. To discover very important, necessary, but hidden from our eyes connections in living nature. And most importantly: learn to love and take care of what people cannot live without - the wonderful world of plants and animals around us!

It turns out that not all hares are the same. The hare and the hare are so different from each other that it is even surprising how some people manage to confuse them. However, the problem is common. Understanding the differences will be useful not only for amateurs wildlife, but also to hunters, rangers, forest workers, and just young naturalists. The ability to recognize the characteristic differences of these animals will also be useful to those who study the habits of these animals, and they differ greatly.

White man and hare - who are they?

It is worth considering each representative of these species separately in order to understand the main differences at an early stage.

White hare- a fairly large animal, can reach a body length of up to 60 centimeters, weight from 1.6 to 4.5 kilograms. The usual habitat is northern Europe. In Russia, it is mainly distributed in the north up to and including the tundra zone. Considered to be a forest dweller. The ears are long, but not as long as those of his relative the hare. Solid white tail, short and rounded, wide paws. In winter it is pure white, except for the tips of the ears, and in summer it is grayish or reddish.

White hare

Brown hare- also large (57–68 centimeters, weight up to 7 kilograms), often larger than a white hare. Lives in Western and Minor Asia, Europe, North Africa. In Russia it is found within the European and northern parts. Considered a resident of the steppes, fields, and meadows. It has a fragile build, long ears, a wedge-shaped tail, black or black-brown on top.

Main differences

As already mentioned, the first thing you should pay attention to when identifying an animal is the size of the ears. The hare's are shorter, and the hare's are longer.

Also, the hind limbs of the hare are somewhat longer than those of his brother. The length of the foot can reach 18.5 centimeters. This provides him with faster running than the hare. But the latter has wider feet in order to stay on the snow.

The difficulty in distinguishing one from the other arises in summer time, when both are gray in color. However, it is impossible to disguise anatomical features, so an experienced observer will always be able to recognize who is the real hare and who is the hare.

The peculiarity of the hare's diet is that if deep snow cover is established, it can move onto bark and bushes. Moreover, there is maple, oak, hazel, and broom wood. But willow and aspen are not so favored. While the latter are the hare’s favorite delicacies.

Conclusions website

1. The hare is often larger in size than the hare.
2. The hare's ears are noticeably smaller than those of the hare and have black dots at the tips.

Hares They are not rodents, as we often think, and they are not actually that harmless. This mammal shows aggression when threatened. We know about the white hare from fairy tales, but we remember little, what are the differences and similarities between hare and hare. Why are they so confused? Let's figure it out together, starting with the characteristics.

Description of the hare

Hare body length 68-70 cm, despite the fact that the body itself is slender and the sides are compressed. Weight can reach 7 kg! main feature – wedge-shaped ears, growing from 9 to 15 cm. It is thanks to long ears, hares have well-developed hearing, vision and a weaker sense of smell. Hind limbs They have long feet; in case of danger, their speed reaches 80 km/h. A sudden change in direction puts predators into a stupor; they climb slopes well, but go back down head over heels. Hare fur rough, but very warm, the color depends on the season of the year. In winter, only the hare wears completely white fur, which is where it got its name; in summer, its color is gray. And only the tips of the ears remain dark in color, which looks very beautiful. Hare lifespan 5 years, but the female can live up to 9; in some cases, hares live up to 12-14 years.

FOOD AND HABITAT OF THE BLACK HARE

What does a hare eat?

Undoubtedly, the hare's nutrition depends depending on the time of year. In winter, for example, they cause extreme damage to trees and shrubs by feeding on their bark. They also dig up crops in the snow. But a hare cannot be called a vegetarian! IN northern regions discovered when hares attacked partridges.

In summer time hare eats various plants like clover, dandelions and many other herbs. Branches and leaves of young trees and shoots of bushes are perfect. It is unlikely that a hare refuses vegetables, especially when located near villages where you can profit from cabbage and carrots.

Where does the white hare live?

Where do our fairy-tale creatures live?

The White Hare has spread almost all over Russia! But it can also be found in different countries our world, for example, in Ireland, in Mongolia, in Northern Europe And South America. Belyaka Can't be confused with anyone! Yes Yes! After all, only he dresses in all white in winter. Hares live in open forest and steppe landscapes, in fields and meadows, on forest edges. They do not go deep into the forest, preferring to live close to people, because there is something to profit from there. They are active in the evening and at night, but during the day they sit out in their burrows.

VIDEO: FOREST TALES ABOUT THE BLACK HARE

IN THIS VIDEO YOU WILL LEARN A LOT OF USEFUL AND INTERESTING ABOUT THE BLACK HARE, AND YOU CAN ALSO SHOW THIS TRANSMISSION TO CHILDREN

I still want it! - says the Mouse. - And now I’ll go look for the red summer!

Where are you going? You're small and weak!

And I’ll take a big and strong traveling companion!

The Mouse came down from the hummock and ran through the forest. An upturned Christmas tree lies in the thicket, under its roots is a bear’s den. The Mouse ran up and shouted:

Hey Bear!

Sounds out from the den:

H-r-r-r-p-p-h-h-h!..

Wake up, Bear, - shouts the Mouse, - otherwise I’ll bite you on the nose!

Hr-r-r-p-h-h-h!.. What do you want?

You are big and strong, come with me to look for the red summer!

Ugh, - the Bear says, - you should have woken me up because of this... Get out of here! My den is deep, the spruce paws are soft, and I feel good.

He turned around, lay down more comfortably, and squeezed his eyes again.

No, you can’t come to an agreement with the Bear,” the Mouse ran on.

Pine trees grow on a sandy hillock, under them the passage turns black - a badger hole. Snoring can be heard from the hole:

Thump-thump-psss...

Hey, Badger, - the Mouse screams, - wake up! Wake up now, otherwise I’ll bite you!

Thump-thump-psss... Well, what else is there?

Badger, you are big and strong, come with me to look for the red summer!

Look, - Badger says, - what did you come up with... How dare you bother me?! He needed the summer... There’s no wind in my sides, there’s no drips over me, I feel good as it is. Shoot!

No, you can’t come to an agreement with the Badger,” the Mouse ran on. There is a tall maple tree standing on the edge of the clearing, with a hole between its roots. Leaves and leaves are pulled into the hole. - The hedgehog built himself a bedroom.

Hey Yozh! - The mouse is screaming. - Wake up! Wake up this minute, otherwise I’ll bite you!

The leaves began to move and the hedgehog's face appeared.

What's the matter, what's that squeak?

- Hedgehog, you are still big, you are still strong, come with me to look for the red summer!

Eh, if I weren’t too lazy to get up, - the Hedgehog says, - what a beating I would give you! I wish I could have frightened you, scared you to death! It’s nice in my hole, it’s warm in the leaves, and you decided to wake me up... Get out of sight while you’re safe!

No, you can’t come to an agreement with the Hedgehog,” the Mouse ran on. “Nothing,” he thinks, “the forest is large, there are still many inhabitants in it, maybe I’ll pick up a travel companion...”

It didn't work out.

Suddenly the sky became completely dark, frowned, and shaggy snow fell to the ground.

He covered the paths, whitewashed the swamps, put scarves on the hummocks, and malachai on the stumps.

Yes, so fast!

The Mouse is running, in a hurry, and with each step it becomes more difficult to run. The snow gets deeper and deeper. Now his short legs don’t reach the ground, the Mouse jumped as hard as he could - and got completely stuck.

Well, he says, apparently death has come. Now I'm freezing in the snow.

He shrank, shrank, did not move.

And the snow keeps falling and falling, covering the Mouse’s head. The white blanket swells and swells over him.

And suddenly - what kind of miracles? - it seems to the Mouse that it has become warmer. He opened his eyes and looked around. He sees that the snow around him is melting as he breathes, it looks like it’s turning into a cave. There is light in it. And it doesn't blow. And the frost is not freezing. And it’s not scary either: no one will see, no one will grab...

Eh!.. - The mouse says. - Yes, it’s quite possible to live here. And really - is it worth tormenting ourselves, looking for a red summer, when we can manage without it?

He settled down, scratched behind his ear with his paw, and fell asleep.

OTTER AND CROW

I’m surprised at you, Otter, very surprised! And why did you decide to live here at the mill?!

What's wrong with that?

But it’s noisy, and crowded, and there’s no peace! Is it something in the forest...

Hehe, Voronushka... You are slow-witted. In the forest, the river is covered with ice, there is not a single hole. How to dive for fish? And there is water at the mill all year round alive, I wanted some fish - please... And if it’s noisy, that’s good.

And the fact that among the noise no one will hear me, the quiet one, among many people no one will look for me, the timid one... Here I will live better than anyone else!

BELYAK AND HERMAN

You, Rusak, live in the fields, in wild places. Must be a better runner than me forest hare.

I'm already a better runner. You, Belyak, can’t keep up with me!

Let's run all the way to that tree. Who's the fastest?

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Well, what, Rusak? Did I overtake you?

Overtook... Ufff!..

So that! Don’t boast that you can run better than me, the forest hare. The snow in your fields is always strong, the wind blows it, and covers it with infusion. But in our forest the snow is always loose, and in order to run on it, you need to have paws like these!

Still, it’s nice to read the fairy tale “Belyak” by M. M. Prishvin, even for adults, you immediately remember your childhood, and again, like a little one, you empathize with the heroes and rejoice with them. The desire to convey deep moral assessment actions of the main character, encouraging you to rethink yourself. All heroes were “honed” by the experience of the people, who for centuries created, strengthened and transformed them, giving great and deep meaning to children's education. And the thought comes, and behind it the desire, to plunge into this fabulous and incredible world, win the love of a modest and wise princess. The text, written in the last millennium, combines surprisingly easily and naturally with our modern times; its relevance has not diminished at all. The dialogues of the characters are often touching; they are full of kindness, kindness, directness, and with their help a different picture of reality emerges. An important role for children’s perception is played by visual images, of which this work abounds, quite successfully. The fairy tale “Belyak” by Prishvin M. M. can be read for free online countless times without losing love and desire for this creation.

Direct wet snow sat on twigs in the forest all night, broke off, fell, rustled.

The rustle drove the white hare out of the forest, and he probably realized that by morning the black field would turn white and he, completely white, could lie peacefully. And he lay down on a field not far from the forest, and not far from him, also like a hare, lay weathered over the summer and whitened sun rays horse skull.

By dawn the whole field was covered, and in the white immensity the white hare and a white skull.

We were a little late, and by the time we released the hound, the tracks had already begun to blur.

When Osman began to disassemble the fat, it was still difficult to distinguish the shape of the hare's paw from the hare's: he was walking along the hare. But before Osman had time to straighten the trail, everything completely melted away on the white path, and then there was neither sight nor smell left on the black one.

We gave up on hunting and began to return home at the edge of the forest.

“Look through binoculars,” I said to my friend, “that it’s white there on the black field and so bright.”

“Horse skull, head,” he answered.

I took the binoculars from him and also saw the skull.

“There’s something still white there,” said the comrade, “look further to the left.”

I looked there, and there, also like a skull, bright white, lay a hare, and through prismatic binoculars you could even see black eyes on the white. He was in a desperate situation: lying down meant being in full view of everyone, running meant leaving a print on the soft wet ground for the dog. We stopped his hesitation: we lifted him up, and at the same moment Osman, having seen him again, set off with a wild roar towards the sighted man.
