Answer 2

Answer:

Evolved camouflage: being white helps them blend in with a snowy background, which means they can hunt and/or hide from predators more effectively.

It's often seasonal. Since being white actually makes you glaringly obvious if you don't have a snowy background to blend into, lots of arctic animals (like foxes) only change their coats with the weather, and are much darker during the warmer, less snowy summer.

hope it helps you✌
