That's no ordinary rabbit, that's the most foul, cruel, and bad tempered rodent you've ever set eyes on!

Ecology

[InSnowbits depthare descriptionsmall mammals that reside in winter climates. They are small, 11 inches (28cm) in length, with most of their mass coming from their thick plush fur. Large paws allow them to traverse easily through the snow. They have two crooked horns on their heads that assist in finding plant roots and threat displays.

They have poor eyesight, relying on their sense of smell to find vegetation. They are also sensitive to atmospheric changes, their fur acting like sensors to pick up vibrations in the air. This helps them to find prey that may be too far for them to smell or sense an impending storm.

They live in burrows in the ice, residing in great numbers to help keep warm and protect against other predators. Each burrow has a nest mother, one snowbit that has grown far larger than the others, and raises all of the ecologyoffspring alone. The nest mother does not leave the burrow, relying on the rest of their warren to provide food so she may nurse the creature.many Aspectsyoung canin includeher suchcharge.
