Answer:

a dark-colored fur to catch their prey

Step-by-step explanation:

In areas covered with snow, the temperatures are too low. Therefore, animals surviving in these areas require thick fur or body insulation to ensure their body temperature is regulated. The snow is white in color and therefore, being white in color helps the animals camouflage hence not visible to the predators.

Having a dark color, this will only expose these animals to their predators since the areas are covered with white snow. They will be easily traced by their predators and maybe selected out by nature.
