In the wide, hushed tundra of the far north, this season-shifting survivor blends seamlessly into a world of snow, willow, and wind. It feeds on buds, twigs, and leaves, patiently cropping hardy plants that endure brutal cold. What makes it extraordinary is its mastery of change — molting from mottled brown to pure white, it mirrors the land itself, while helping shape tundra vegetation through constant grazing. Grounded, resilient, and perfectly tuned to the Arctic rhythm, a quiet emblem of survival at the edge of the world.
