snowshoe rabbit
White winter hare
A snowshoe rabbit is a hare native to northern North America, named for its large hind feet that allow it to move easily over snow.
Its fur turns white in winter and brown in summer, providing seasonal camouflage.
Also called snowshoe hare—technically more accurate, since it's a hare rather than a rabbit.
