Snowshoe hare A snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) with a white winter coat sits in deep snow, blending into the snowy landscape as snow falls around it. A line graph with red and blue shaded areas shows cyclical rises and falls in the populations of snowshoe hares and lynx from 1855 to 1925, illustrating how hare population peaks are followed by lynx population peaks. Small illustrations of a running snowshoe hare and a lynx appear above the graph.
