It uses camouflage to blend in with things so they can find food and not become food
In the USA, there are three species: Rock Ptarmigan, Willow Ptarmigan, and White-tailed Ptarmigan.
The rock ptarmigan is not an endangered species. Listed as "Least Concern".
The rock ptarmigan has several adaptations that aid its survival in harsh, cold environments. Its plumage changes color with the seasons, turning white in winter for camouflage against snow and brown or gray in summer to blend with rocky terrain. Additionally, the bird has feathered feet that provide insulation and help it walk on snow. These adaptations, along with its ability to forage on a diet of woody plants and seeds, enable the rock ptarmigan to thrive in its alpine habitat.
