Arctic Hare

Size and Color: In order to blend into its surroundings and to avoid detection by predators, Arctic hares are almost entirely paper white during the winter. They then darken to blend in with rocks and vegetation once spring arrives. Measuring 2.5 inches long and 2 inches tall, both dimensions of this figurine are roughly the same as the length of a stick of lip balm.

Adapted to live in the cold and harsh conditions of the polar regions, the Arctic hare has developed an extremely thick coat and a high body fat percentage to help it stay warm. It is also exceptionally fast to avoid predators, reaching speeds of up to 40 mph (60 km/h)!
