During the long, dark winters, the Arctic Hare's diet changes slightly. They start to eat more twigs and buds from trees and shrubs, as well as bark and evergreen needles. They even use their powerful hind legs to dig through the snow to find hidden plants to munch on. Talk about determination!
But here's the thing: Arctic Hares don't just eat any old plant material. They have a special fondness for cotton grass, which is rich in nutrients like protein and carbohydrates. They'll even travel long distances to find the best grazing spots. Who knew these hares were such foodies?
