Snowshoe hares change color from brown to white in the winter so they can be camouflaged in the snow. According to climate projections from global warming experts, the duration of snowpack will be about a month shorter by midcentury and up to two months shorter by the end of the century. Predation already accounts for 85-100 percent of mortality in snowshoe hares. If the initiation dates of their molts don’t change accordingly or if the lack of snow doesn’t also affect the predators that eats them, they might be in for a rough future.
