Their large hind feet help them move swiftly through deep snow, while their coat changes from brown or gray in the summer to white during winter to aid in camouflage. Active mainly during twilight and nighttime, snowshoe hares are mostly silent but can communicate subtly using their ears and changes in posture. Their diet typically includes a variety of woody plants, grasses, and herbs, adapting to the extreme weather conditions of their habitat.
