Known for their large hind feet, these hares maintain traction on the snow and can change color from brown or gray in the summer to white in the winter, offering effective camouflage from predators. This adaptability plays a crucial role in their survival during the stark shifts of seasons that characterize their habitat. Known to breed in the early months of spring, the presence of young hares signals a beginning in the harsh yet beautiful landscape they call home.
