Wikipedia

  1. Arctic hare

    The Arctic hare (Lepus arcticus) is a species of hare highly adapted to living in the Arctic tundra and other icy biomes. The Arctic hare survives with shortened ears and limbs, a small nose, fat that makes up close to 20% of its body, and a thick coat of fur. It usually digs holes in the ground or under the snow to keep warm and to sleep. Arctic hares look like rabbits but have shorter ears, are taller when standing, and, unlike rabbits, can thrive in extreme cold. They can travel together with many other hares, sometimes huddling with dozens or more, but are usually found alone, sometimes taking more than one partner. The Arctic hare can run up to 60 kilometres per hour (40 mph).

  1. arctic hare

    The Arctic Hare, also known as the polar rabbit, is a species of hare native to the harsh cold climates of the Arctic regions of North America and Greenland. They are adapted to survive in extreme temperatures, with thick, white fur for insulation and camouflage, and large, powerful hind legs for locomotion and swift escapes from predators. The Arctic Hare's large body size also helps it withstand the cold. It primarily feeds on woody plants, mosses, and lichens.
