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. It has large, powerful hind legs that enable it to move quickly and efficiently over the snow-covered terrain. The Arctic hare is herbivorous, feeding on a variety of plant materials such as grasses, mosses, and lichens.
Examples
1. But it was these stupid rabbits, these 25 pound Arctic hares that really were so fun to watch because they would virtually stand up on their back legs and duke it out like they're trying to hit each other in the face.
