Solution

These organisms are adapted to live in deciduous forests. The reason is that in these environments, the change of seasons is very marked. During the winter, snow covers the landscape, and a white coat would help the hares blend in. In other seasons, the brown color helps them hide among the trees and the earth. This wouldn't be beneficial in a desert, tropical rain forest, or savanna, where the landscape doesn't change dramatically with the seasons.
