(2001) determined that predation is the main factor driving the snowshoe hare cycle. First they identified that 81% of the radio tagged snowshoe hares died due to predation.

Scientists have observed a trend in population changes of the snowshoe hare in Canada. About every 8 years, the number of hares falls sharply. One year later, the number of lynx in the same area falls also. The lynx is the main predator of the snowshoe hare.
