The picture shows a himalayan rabbit. As you can see, they are mostly white, with black restricted to specific body parts. The interesting thing is that if you shave some of the fur off, it will first grow back black, with white fur gradually replacing the black spot over time (Yes, you could give these bunnies some awesome “tattoos” with nothing more than an electric shaver!). 

Any idea why that happens and why it would

be an evolutionary advantageous trait?
