The Alaskan Hare is one of the most largest species of hares. In the summer, Alaskan Hares tend to have a brown fur coat with the under parts still being white. In the winter, they have a white fur coat with black tipped ears. The Alaskan Hare's ears are fairly short. All hare's ears' play an important role in thermoregulation, and with the Alaskan Hare's ears being small, it prevents heat loss in cold climates.

Alaskan Hares also feed on green plants in the summer, and bark and twigs in the winter. [1] ~~~~
