:) What Arctic animal has two fur coats?

  • Artikel

Answer: The stoat is a type of weasel whose camouflage varies with the seasons. In summer, its brown fur blends in with the rocky landscape. In autumn, it sheds its summer fur, and grows a new, thick coat of pure-white hairs. In its winter coat, the stoat is called an ermine.
