Description

The white-tailed jackrabbit is native to Africa, Eurasia, North American and Asia.
white-tailed jackrabbits fur varies with season and habitat. The upper parts range from yellowish to grayish brown in color. They have white or gray on the underside.
The throat and face are somewhat darker with coarser hair. Enormous ears that are equipped with generous blood flow dissipate heat during the warm weather and detect predators.
They have large hind legs which help them facilitate high jumps and quick escapes from predators. White-tailed jackrabbits live in simple nests above ground.
Grass, clover, and small flowers are their diet during the warm months. In winter, they switch to chewing twigs, dry buds, and the bark from forest shrubs.
Hares do not bear their young below ground in a burrow. They give birth in a shallow depression or flattened nest of grass called a form. The babies enter the world fully furred with their eyes open. They begin hopping and eating plants within just a few days of birth.
