The snowshoe hare  (Lepus american-
us) is a species of hare found throughout Canada and Alaska. This animal is significant for its fur, which changes color from white in the winter to brown in the summer. This is an example of camouflage, or blending in with the environment to hide. This adaptation was an evolutionary advantage because allowed snowshoe hares to evade predators.
