SciShow Talk Show: Dr. Jeff Good & Cas the Arctic Fox

The video features a discussion with Dr. Jeff Good on evolutionary biology, focusing on how species adapt to variable environments. The conversation highlights the seasonal adaptations of snowshoe hares, which change color to maintain camouflage. The discussion also touches on genetic variability and the impact of climate change on these adaptations. A live demonstration of a fox showcases real-world examples of animal adaptations to seasonal changes.
