A population of arctic hares burrows into the snow for shelter. It is found

that the hares on the smaller side are able to burrow between rocks, as

well, providing extra protection from predators. Over time, the hare

population becomes smaller in size, shifting the normal distribution curve for

hare size.

What type of selection is this?
