Biosphoto | 2397081 | A lone Mountain Hare (Lepus timidus) braves the snow drifts in the Cairngorms National Park, UK. With strong winds blowing recently fallen snow high into the air, the landscape was transformed into a windswept harsh mountainside. With winds hitting up to 60mph at times, individuals could not spend long out in the exposed landscape, only crossing it when essential to minimise heat loss. | © Tesni Ward / Biosphoto
