Yes, hares do change their coats. Many species, such as the Arctic hare, undergo seasonal molting, where they shed their fur to adapt to different environments. In winter, they develop a thicker, white coat for camouflage in the snow, while in summer, they shed this coat for a shorter, brown or gray fur that helps them blend in with their surroundings. This adaptation aids in both thermoregulation and predator avoidance.
