snowshoe hare
White winter rabbit
A snowshoe hare is a North American hare with large, furry hind feet that act like snowshoes, allowing it to move across deep snow.
Its coat changes from brown in summer to white in winter for camouflage.
Also called snowshoe rabbit, though it's a hare, not a rabbit.
