why do you think Scottish hares grow a white coat in winter

why hares in the south of England don¡¦t do the same.

These are two different species of hare, mountain hare and brown hare. The mountain hare found in Scotland grows the white coat in winter and brown hare found in England and Wales does not. The while coat is presumably a defence against being seen against the snow and may provide some extra insulation.
Do england hares hibernate?
