The Snowshoe Hare in Winter Conditions
This scene portrays the snowshoe hare, a North American mammal with elongated ears and broad hind feet built for winter landscapes. The animal rests upon a smooth snow cover.
Amazing Adaptations for Deep Snow
The snowshoe hare gets its name from its extraordinarily large, heavily furred hind feet, which act like natural snowshoes by spreading the animal's weight over soft snow. To camouflage against seasonal changes, the hare undergoes a complete coat transition, turning snowy white in winter and rusty brown in summer. The timing of this coat change depends on changing daylight hours rather than surrounding air temperature.
Natural Colors of the Snowshoe Hare
- Winter body coat: brilliant white
- Tips of the long ears: dark charcoal black
- Iris of the eyes: rich golden brown
- Layer of winter snow: bright icy white
- Underfur beneath the topcoat: soft slate gray
