This time of year this Collared Lemming would be wearing a white coat, like the one living under and around the cabin. It’s sharing the space with an Arctic Hare that is also sporting a winter white coat.



Lemmings are the chicken tenders of the tundra. A linchpin species, the fortunes of pretty much all the terrestrial vertebrates wax and vane with the lemming’s cycle.
