Note the name *Arctic* which refers to snow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh just to add on the fur is also thick to protect it against cold :)

The question is asking about the Tundra,which is the desert. Not the snow lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The Arctic Tundra will have snow during the winter so the Arctic rabbit turns white and when its summer it rabbit will be brown just like any other rabbit . Normal rabbits don't turn white in snow so yea.
