Answer:

White fur is only an evolutionary advantage if the creature can hide in snow.

If you live in a temperate forest biome and want to hide from enemies, you wouldn't want fur that sticks out brightly against the dark forest.

Just like, if you lived in a snowy biome, you wouldn't want black fur that would stick out against all the snow.

So no, white fur is not an evolutionary advantage in a temperate forest biome

Hope this helps!
