12 Jackabbit wtail





There are different types of rabbits.

And then there are hares.

The jackrabbit, like in the photo above, is NOT a rabbit, but a hare.

So why is it called a jack rabbit, not a jackhare?

Because rabbits & hares look so much alike that people got mixed up.

A baby rabbit is born with pink skin and no hair, their eyes are closed and they depend on their mother to nurse them. She must raise them in a nest or burrow.

A baby hare is born with his eyes open, and all of his fur. He is tiny but he can start to eat in about three days, although he will still be nursed by his mother.

You have to see the ears on this jackrabbit


Look at the legs on this one!
