Lepus timidus
The Mountain Hare is a fluffy rabbit that lives in cold, snowy places. In winter, its fur turns white to blend in with the snow, and in summer, it turns brown to match the ground.
生息地: Mountain regions
The Mountain Hare has a compact body with short, rounded ears that are tipped in black all year. Its fur is typically brownish-grey in summer, but famously turns pure white in winter, making it perfectly blend with snow. This seasonal coat change makes it visually distinct.
