When It’s Time To Change Snowshoe Hares transition from an entirely white coat to an entirely brown coat between the seasons of winter and summer. This adaptation helps protect them against predators. During the winter, snowshoe hares are pure white, which helps them blend in with the snow. When the seasons change to spring and summer, snowshoe hares turn a reddish-brown color. This helps them camouflage with dirt and rocks. Photo by Brad Manard www.rmnphotographer.com
