Yes, wilderness is an elastic term. I'll stretch it to include English farmland - specifically, a ploughed field, that I was driving through when I noticed a strange animal standing some distance away. I slowed down to get a decent look at it. Some kind of small deer? An overgrown rodent similar to a beaver? It really defied identification. And then it took off running. I have never seen an animal run so fast. It was the speed that gave me the clue I needed. It was a hare. It was the first and only hare I've seen so there's some excuse for my initial bafflement. Like most people, I thought hares were just giant bunnies. Not so. They are truly awkward and ungainly when standing still in a field. They look like a cross between an antelope and a capybara in a marriage arranged by a committee. And then they run and the scales fall from your eyes. There's a reason why the expression is "as fast as a hare." They are furry rocket ships when they run. |
