What is a "arctic hare"?

The Arctic hare (Lepus arcticus) is a species of hare that inhabits the Arctic regions of North America and Greenland. It is well-adapted to survive in the extreme cold and harsh conditions of the Arctic tundra. The Arctic hare has a thick coat of fur that changes color with the seasons, providing excellent camouflage against the snowy landscape.

The Arctic hare is herbivorous, feeding on a variety of plant materials such as grasses, mosses, and lichens.
