Description
Jackrabbits are relatively large, but their size varies from species to species. The largest species of jackrabbit is the white-tailed jackrabbit. This species can weigh nearly 10 pounds, and measure over 2 feet long. Their color and shape vary by species, but generally they are tan, grey, silver, brown, or black. Most jackrabbits also have excessively large ears that stand straight up.

Well I have never seen one of these, they have such long legs! What a great capture with the sun through his ears Karen! l/f

Thank you, Linda. We used to see them all the time while driving the backroads, they would always jump out and cross the road in front of the moving car. I suspect many have been poisoned, cannot prove that. They are a favorite food coyotes but rarely see them anymore. People have messed up nature's balance.

Beautiful back lit shot of this jackrabbit. I've of course heard of these but had never seen one before. L/F

Thank you Joe. We used to have so many and saw them all the time. Now, it's rare to even see one. I've been whining all summer about needing a jackrabbit picture and then, they he was. Much appreciated.
