Hopping Ahead of Climate Change: Snowshoe Hares, Science, and Survival
A snowshoe hare nibbles on spruce and fir buds high in a Rocky Mountain forest. The hare isn t overly worried about predators because its white fur blends in perfectly with snow. There s only one problem. This year, there isn t any snow. As the hare forages, a great horned owl notices. The result? A disaster for the hare one that is happening more and more frequently across its range.
