Actually, both of them are Hares - but no, they are not the same. However, both of them have white coats in Winter and brown coats in Summer: the brown summer coat blends in with tundra vegetation and white winter coat provides camoflauge against snow.

Arctic Hare = Lepus timidus

Snowshoe Hare = Lepus americano

Sorry if the information I have is incorrect.

What does an arctic hare eats?

The arctic hare (Lepus arcticus), or polar rabbit, subsists upon crowberries, grasses, mosses, lichens, seaweed, willow twigs, and the bark, leaves, and stems of woody plants. When early summer arrives, purple mountain saxifrage is a favorite. Four subspecies of the arctic hare are recognized.Sometimes the hare will eat meat in the winter. In the winter the arctic hare also feeds on bare twigs and vegetables just under the snow. They also feed on grass, bugs, twigs, and leaves in the summer. In the winter it will also eat spruce twigs, bark, needles, and buds of hard wood. They will also feed on willow and dwarf arctic plants.Animals in the same family tend to eat similar food, so a hare would eat the same stuff as a wild English countryside rabbit, which would be grass, moss, heather and any wild plant things.

Predator and Prey of temperate forest?

The predator and prey relationship in the tundra biome is much the same as it is in other biomes. Prey typically feeds on vegetation, which is sparse in the tundra, and then the predators feed on the very young, very old, weak, and sick prey animals, This helps to keep the entire population healthier.
