What is an Arctic Hare?
The Arctic Hare (Lepus arcticus) is a species of hare that is well adapted to the cold, harsh environments of the Arctic tundra. It is known for its large size relative to other hares, with adults weighing up to 5-7 kg (11-15 lb) and its thick, white fur which provides insulation and camouflage in snowy environments. During summer, their fur can change to a blue-gray to blend in with the surrounding rocks and vegetation.
