*** About Snowshoe Hare

***: The snowshoe hare is renowned for its large hind feet that allow it to move adeptly through deep snow, a necessity in its often harsh Canadian habitat. These hares are well-adapted to their environment, with a seasonal coat color change from brown or gray in the summer to white in the winter, providing essential camouflage from predators. Active primarily during dawn and dusk, snowshoe hares are a vital part of the boreal forest ecosystem, acting as both predator and prey within their food chain.
