The figure shows snowshoe hares with three fur coat patterns.

Which coat pattern would be better adapted for life in the winter months of the snowy tundra?
• 1. It provides the best camouflage in the snow.
•2. It would help the hare attract mates in the winter.
• 3. It would provide the best camouflage against the melting permafrost.
• 2. It would absorb radiation from the sun and keep the hare warm.

Coat pattern 1 would be better adapted for life in the winter months of the snowy tundra as it provides the best camouflage in the snow. This would help the hare blend in with its surroundings and avoid predators more effectively.

So what is the answer

The answer is coat pattern 1 as it provides the best camouflage in the snow, making it better adapted for life in the winter months of the snowy tundra.
