Arctic hare appearance

Answer 1

Bone structure -

· When alarmed they rise up on their hind legs to look for danger and then bound off very quickly. Hopping up on their hind legs like a kangaroo, they can reach speeds of 64 km. per hour. The hare can swim across narrow streams. Arctic hares are fast and can bound at speeds of up to 40 miles (60 kilometres) an hour, because of the bone structure and their long limbs, they are able to do this. If you look at the hind limbs they are bent as if crouched down. This structure makes it easier for the animal to jump and hop because they act like a spring. The arched spine also helps the hare with hopping along because it makes it flexible and the structure is adapted to help it hop and jump instead of walk or run.

Feet/limbs -

· The claws on the front feet of the Arctic hare are long. The strong claws are used for digging in hard-packed snow. Their feet are thickly padded with fur to keep them warm from the snow, and to make them bigger to assist their digging/burrowing ability. Arctic hares have long claws that help them dig through the snow to find food. Their long, muscular legs make them exceptionally fast runners.

Fur -

· The Arctic hare's coat grows longer and thicker for the winter. They have a short thick undercoat protected by a longer top coat. The white fur makes the hare difficult to spot in the snow.

Ears -

· It has small ears which lose less body heat than larger ears.
