Question

How does a snowshoe hare avoid predation by other animals during the winter in a taiga biome? how might this affect the animal that depends on the snowshoe hare for food?

Answer 1

Snowshoe hare avoids predation by shedding its brown summer fur and growing white fur that camouflages it in the winter snow. This makes it difficult for its predators, such as wolves, coyotes, and fox, to hunt it. The predator will, therefore, require strengthening its other senses such as that or smell and hearing to be able to hunt the snowshoe hare or risk starving.
