Field Notes

Description:

They are brown all over with very large ears with black tips. The back legs are also long, and the tail is black.

Habitat:

Found in central and western North America in scrublands. These two were seen in an open grassland along a road. Once they knew they were seen, they took off in the other direction.

Thanks Tom! I think these were trying to hide first, which is why I only got one shot and the rest are all of their butts :)

Nice pictures Ashley! I've never been able to get a shot of a jackrabbit, they always took off as soon as I saw them:-(
