- In Scandinavia, it was found that the native mountain hare (Lepus timidus) mate with the introduced brown hare (Lepus europaeus). The average body weight of the mountain hare is 2,457 grams whereas the average body weight of the brown hare is 954 grams. The mating of these two species produces hydrids (intermediate F1) with a standard deviation of 139 grams. The variability of the F2 is greater as indicated by a standard deviation of 195 grams.
