The rock ptarmigan, which are camouflaged quite well in the snowy winter world, plunge into the snow to roost. When they need to move about, fluffy, white feathers, resembling snowshoes, cover their feet and make it easier for the birds to traverse the snow covering the ground. They stay healthy in the winter because of a special bacterium that helps them digest their low calorie woody diet.
