Recent studies have found that some hares found in northern Pennsylvania, which is near the southern edge of their range, don't completely molt into their winter coats and stay mostly brown. The article specifically mentioned Yukon hares saying that our hares were significantly bigger. Another adaptation? Eh...wot?
