\paragraph{Snowshoe Hare (\textit{Lepus americanus})} So called because of its large hind feet, which prevent it from sinking into the snow when it walks and hops. Its fur is rusty brown in summer, turning white in winter, which helps to disguise it in a snowy landscape. It is mainly active at night, sometimes feeding in small groups. It does not hibernate. It is found across the northern portion of the lower peninsula and throughout the upper peninsula.

\paragraph{Eastern Cottontail (\textit{Sylvilagus floridanus})} Common throughout the lower peninsula, it is the most common rabbit species in North America.
