Snowshoe Hare

Collected by Frederick W. Waugh from the Innu (Montagnais-Naskapi) people of Québec, Canada. The Snowshoe Hare (Lepus americanus) inhabits the subarctic forests in which the Innu hunt. It is brown in the summer, but white in the winter. The animal's large hind feet prevent it from sinking in the snow when it hops.
