Cellulose is indigestible by animals because they lack the enzyme Cellulase.

Cellulose is the polysaccharide which is the main constituent of plant cell wall. It consists of chains of glucose monomers. Animals like human beings lack the enzyme Cellulase which is necessary for the digestion of cellulose.  

Hay and grasses are rich in cellulose and therefore, both are indigestible by human beings. Animals like cows and horses also do not possess the enzyme cellulase, but they harbor microbes which help in the digestion of cellulose.

A population of white rabbits and brown rabbits both live in a temperate deciduous forest where the summers are mild and average
Slav-nsk [51]

Brown rabbits are suited for seasons when colors are similar to their skins (summer, spring, autumn and winters without snow) and white rabbits are best suited for seasons when colors are similar to their skins (winter with snow and sometimes spring).

If winters get warmer, there won't be snow, which would make life for rabbits difficult and decrease their population. But, it will make life for the brown rabbits easier since they will be able to get out in winter, without being easily spotted.


Hope it helped,
