This cuteness overload is 🐰Pörri🤍, a baby brown hare who has been residing at @saijaszoo since June 16th.
Pörri had been seen "hovering" in a residential area, eventually getting scared by a lawn mower and ending up in someones´s house terrace. Since the mother hare hadn´t been seen there at any time, an intervention had to be made as the little one still has to be nursed and doesn´t consume solid foods yet. Pörri is quite lively and energetic and if everything continues to go well, will be released back into the wild as soon as the wee wabbit grows a bit and will be able to take care of himself... or herself (the gender can´t be identified at this stage).
I can´t make any promises, but I´ll update this post if and when I can.
I have a few more pics and a short vidclip of Pörri, but I have a bit of a technical issue with the files at the moment - you´ll get to see them when I figure it out !

Hare ball (2020 BigPicture Natural World Photography Contest)
by Andy Parkinson
"To get this intimate shot of a mountain hare (Lepus timidus) curled up against a Scottish winter storm, Andy Parkinson endured weeks of ferocious cold and wind that drove shards of ice into his face. Britain’s only native rabbit species, on the other hand, is utterly at home in these inhospitable conditions. Groups of twenty or more hares gather each winter to nibble heather on leeward slopes, where the snow tends to be shallower. Before resting, they jump away from their tracks to confuse predators. And while some ride out storms in burrows or depressions, this female created her own shelter, tucking herself into a ball to conserve heat and minimize exposure to the elements. It’s a nifty strategy for surviving the kind of weather that drives most creatures indoors or underground.
Despite their fortitude, mountain hares are Britain’s fastest-declining mammal, due to unregulated hunting and habitat loss. Parkinson hopes that calling attention to these remarkable rabbits will convince legislators to protect them."

That´s not very much, but it was exactly how much little 🐰Alba❤ weighed arriving at @saijaszoo yesterday evening.
This little brown hare was found with a dead sibling aside him/her. The other baby had already been pecked to death - by gulls, magpies and / or crows - but this one is now safe with Saija, looked after and being fed around the clock every 3 hours.
I met Alba earlier this afternoon, and in these pics the little one is assumed to be less than 48 hrs "old".
It is much too soon to make any predictions, but if nothing new and tragic turns up there is at least some reason for cautios optimism.
Then again, only time will tell..
Just so you know, the Finnish government today declared a national emergency because of this damn #coronavirus and we are pretty much going into a lockdown, with several tight restrictions taking place starting tomorrow. This obviously means, that updating this post jusr might get a bit "tricky" along the way... but I promise to try my best. (Also, both Saija and I are just fine at the moment btw)

🐰 Hang in there, little one 💕❤💕 Tsemppiä, pikkuinen🐰
This morning our friend @saijaszoo got this little cutie to look after !
The baby hare in these pictures I took about an hour ago is no more than 2-3 days old and was found beside his/her dead sibling but is now receiving all the attention and care humanly possible.
Fortunately this little fighter started accepting feeding from a human as you can see - that´s a good start, but it´s early days yet and all we can do is hope for the best !
That´s about all I can tell you at this moment, but I might give some updates in the comments how this all evolves…
Tänä aamuna ystävämme Saija sai tämän pikku söpöläisen hoidokikseen!
Pikku rusakko, jonka kuvasin reilu tunti sitten on korkeintaan 2-3 vrk ikäinen ja löydettiin kuolleen sisaruksensa vierestä. Nyt pikkuinen saa kaiken avun ja hoidon mitä ihminen voi antaa. Onneksi pieni sisupussi sentään hyväksyi ihmisen syöttävän häntä - se on hyvä alku, mutta on ihan liian aikaista päätellä mitään suuntaan tai toiseen mutta toivotaan parasta !
Siinäpä olikin kaikki mitä on kerrottavana juuri nyt, mutta saatanpa päivittää tilannetta tarpeen mukaan kommenteissa...
