The
arctic hare (
Lepus arcticus), or
polar rabbit, is a species of
hare
which is adapted largely to polar and mountainous habitats. The arctic
hare survives with a thick coat of fur and usually digs holes under the
ground or snow to keep warm and sleep. Arctic hares look like rabbits
but have shorter ears and can stand up taller, and can live/maintain
themselves in cold places unlike rabbits. They can travel together with
many other hares, sometimes huddling with dozens or more, but are
usually found alone, taking in some cases more than one partner. The
arctic hare can run up to 40 miles (64 km) per hour.
[3] Its predators include
Arctic wolf,
Arctic fox, and
Ermine.
