*** About Snowshoe Hare: The snowshoe hare is an integral component of the boreal forest ecosystem across North America. Adapted perfectly to cold environments, their large, furry feet allow them to move atop snow without sinking, giving them their name. These hares often change color from brown or gray in the summer to white in the winter, providing effective camouflage against predators. Interestingly, the snowshoe hare is known for its cyclical population changes, where numbers can vary greatly every few years, which in turn impacts local predator populations, including those of lynx and wolves.
