The rock ptarmigan adapts to the tundra biome through several key features. Its plumage changes seasonally, turning white in winter for camouflage against snow and brown or mottled in summer to blend with the rocky terrain and vegetation. Additionally, their feathered legs provide insulation and help them traverse snowy environments. These adaptations enable them to evade predators and maintain their body temperature in harsh conditions.
