Question

Some species of hares are brown most of the year, but change color to white in the winter. This allows them to blend in through the seasons.

Where are these organisms adapted to live?

deciduous forests
desert
tropical rain forests
savanna

Answer 1

The hares that change color from brown to white are typically adapted to live in cold environments, such as those found in **deciduous forests** that experience significant snowfall in winter. These habitats provide the seasonal conditions that allow the hares to benefit from their ability to camouflage with the snowy surroundings in winter while blending into the brown and green landscapes during the warmer months. Hares that change color are not typically found in deserts, tropical rain forests, or savannas, where such seasonal color changes would not provide a survival advantage.
