@jimfrost Do their heads always go brown earlier than the rest of their bodies? It would make sense, if so, as their heads are the part of them they’re most likely to position on patches of exposed grasses during this phase of the melt.
(I’m in the temperate to subtropical latitudes so no animals here have different winter pigmentation, if anything at all they just get fluffier.)

@cwicseolfor I’m not entirely sure to be honest but I think it varies with each individual. Further down the hill I did spot others that were darker. I seem to remember reading somewhere it was to do with temperature as to the change in colour but I’m not 100% on that.
