How the Hare Changes Color!

Hi there, little friend! Today, we are going to learn about a special animal called a hare. A hare is like a bunny, and they can change their fur color! How cool is that?

In winter, when it snows and everything turns white, the hare's brown fur changes to white, too! This is really helpful for the hare. Let’s see how it works:

  1. Winter Comes: When winter arrives, snow covers the ground, and everything looks white.
  2. Color Change: The hare's body knows that it’s time to change. It uses a special way to change its fur from brown to white.
  3. Why Change? This change helps the hare blend in with the snow. It’s like playing hide and seek! When the hare is white, it is hard for animals that might want to catch it to see it.
  4. Staying Safe: By hiding well in the snow, the hare can avoid danger and stay safe. This lets the hare eat plants and have fun hopping around.
  5. Spring Returns: When spring comes and the snow melts, the hare will change back to brown to blend in with the grass and flowers.

So, you see? The hare is very clever and knows how to be safe. Changing color helps it play hide and seek with nature!
