I say it should be illegal to incorporate the word "snow" in the names of things that are not white.

Many animals that live in temperate climates change colors every year.

It's not the case of this one. I just wanted to point that many do :)

(Now, seriously, gray and white are probably a very good disguise in places where the snow doesn't take over everything all the time.)

Hmm... "Sometimes Snow "?

Also Greenland isn't green...

Yes! We should have swapped the names for Iceland and Greenland so long ago!

[ insert here snow white live action joke ]

They live in areas that are covered by snow for at least part of the year, such as the Himalayas, Tibet and parts of Central Asia and Mongolia. The animal itself can vary in colour from cream to grey or tan.
