Rabbit Bunny sitting white

Sitting White Mountain Hare, Cuddly Toy, Plush Toy, approx. 17 cm

The mountain hare wears winter white with curiosity held high in its ears

The Cuddly Toy peers through its snow-white coat

The head leans slightly forwards, the front paws rest close together and the rounded hindquarters settle low to the ground. This gives the white mountain hare an alert yet composed appearance. Brown safety eyes sit at the sides of the face, clearly framed by the pale fur. A small dark nose, softly shaped muzzle and restrained stitched details create an open expression. At the back, a short fluffy tail completes the compact body. The different textures soften the white colouring: smoother fur around the face, fuller fibres across the body and neatly shaped paws beneath. The Soft Toy looks bright, with enough curiosity in its gaze to keep the resting pose lively.

Two upright ears give the Plush Toy its unmistakable hare character

The long ears rise close together and make the animal recognisable from a distance. A delicate rosy beige shade appears inside, adding warmth to the almost entirely white coat. Their edges are softly rounded, yet the ears remain distinctly upright. That posture gives the Plush Toy the listening quality associated with a hare without making it seem nervous. Its expression suggests attention rather than alarm. Here lies the quiet humour of the mountain hare: the body has settled into a comfortable rest, while the ears behave as though no important news should escape them. Face and posture remain natural rather than exaggerated.

Gathered paws keep the little hare close to the ground

The body length is approximately 17 cm, with an overall length of around 20 cm also specified. The hare measures about 9 cm wide and 12 cm high. It is easy to lift in both hands, while the upright ears remain prominent above the compact body. The fur is made from acrylic. Polyester fibre and granulate filling provide soft volume together with a lightly noticeable weight. All four short paws remain visible beneath the body, although the white coat blends their transitions into the rounded shape. Hand washing is recommended, together with following the instructions attached to the product. As a Soft Toy, the mountain hare feels gathered rather than rigid.

A mountain hare changes its coat as the seasons turn

For a living mountain hare, winter white is part of a remarkable seasonal adaptation. Across many regions, the coat is grey-brown or brownish during warmer months, helping the animal blend among heather, rocks and low vegetation. As the days shorten, moulting begins and a paler winter coat develops. In snowy landscapes this colouring provides effective camouflage, while the ear tips often remain dark. Mountain hares inhabit northern forests, tundra, moorland and mountainous country. Unlike rabbits, they do not normally rest in deep burrows. Instead, they use shallow sheltered hollows in the ground known as forms. The white textile hare captures the winter appearance without claiming every detail of a particular regional coat.

Broad feet carry living mountain hares over loose snow

Powerful hind legs allow mountain hares to travel in long, rapid bounds. Their broad, densely furred feet spread weight effectively across snow and soft ground. When danger approaches, a hare may first depend on camouflage and remain motionless before escaping in forceful leaps. Grasses, herbs and other plants form much of the diet. During winter, when fresh growth is scarce, buds, twigs and bark become more important. Long ears support sensitive hearing and help the animal detect change early. The Stuffed Animal has none of these abilities, but its upright ears, compact posture and short paws recall familiar features of the living hare. One is a highly adapted wild mammal; the other is a gentle textile interpretation.

As a Stuffed Animal, the white hare brings a clear winter note indoors

Among more colourful animals, the mountain hare stands out through an almost uninterrupted expanse of white. This gives it a restrained yet noticeable presence in a collection. Beside books or on a chest of drawers, the Stuffed Animal resembles a small visitor from a snowy hillside, with the pale coat directing attention towards the face and ears. Held in the hands, it feels different. The rounded back rests comfortably against the palms, the paws anchor the body and the short tail can be felt beneath the softer fur. This Cuddly Toy from the Carl Dick Collection at Plueschtier.de suits those who enjoy familiar woodland and meadow animals with a bright winter character.

A tiny nose softens the mountain hare’s serious listening pose

Seen from the front, the mountain hare has an almost formal composure. The ears stand straight, the paws are neatly gathered and the brown eyes look intently ahead. Then the small dark nose and rounded muzzle come into view, making the expression more approachable. The Plush Toy seems to have heard something important without finding a reason to leave its comfortable position. That contrast gives the hare personality without turning it into a caricature. As a Cuddly Toy, it combines winter colouring with tangible softness. Its ears, short tail and low posture keep the animal recognisable, while the white coat makes it feel close rather than distant. This mountain hare carries warmth rather than chill.
