Hares typically have longer ears than rabbits, but the arctic hare conserves body heat with its relatively short ears. Living in the North American tundra, the arctic hare doesn't hibernate in winter. Its thick coat turns snow white, and the hare survives eating woolly plants it digs up from under the ice and snow.
