The snowshoe rabbit population fluctuates primarily due to a combination of predation, food availability, and environmental factors. Predators such as lynxes and foxes regulate their numbers, leading to cyclical population peaks and crashes approximately every 10 years. Additionally, changes in habitat conditions and availability of food sources, particularly during harsh winters, further influence their survival and reproduction rates. These interconnected factors create a dynamic balance that causes significant fluctuations in their population.
