Say It with Ears

It is possible for humans to interpret the 'mood' and to predict the behaviour of Arctic hares by the position and movements of their ears. Arctic hares can move their long, furred and mobile ears independently, and they can turn each ear so that the openings face different directions.

Try to match an Arctic hare photograph to the human view of what might be on an Arctic hare's mind, as interpreted through its ears - what they would say if ears could talk.
