"England's last surviving population of mountain hares may be under threat due to global warming, a conservation group has said.
Recent studies suggest there are about 2,500 of the creatures in the Peak District which, experts say, is "not large" for an isolated population.
The People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) is funding research to see if the number is in decline.
"These hares could be in trouble," said Nida Al-Fulaij from the trust."
