Snowshoe hares have an interesting adaptation that helps protect them against predators. Depending on the season, their fur can be a different color. During the winter, snowshoe hares are white, which helps them blend in with the snow. When the seasons change to spring and summer, snowshoe hares turn a gray-brown. This color helps them camouflage with dirt and rocks. The hind legs of a snowshoe hare are large and have more fur and larger toes than those of other rabbits or hares. These adaptations provide additional surface area and support for walking on snow.
As the climate warms and the amount of snowfall decreases, we could expect to see other changes in the snowshoe population. What change would we NOT expect to see?
