Jackrabbits are not rabbits
Rabbits and hares are different genuses. It's not really accurate to call a jackrabbit a rabbit as they are hares.
They're called that because early American settlers thought jackrabbits looked kinda like a European rabbit with a jackass's (donkey's) ears.
In reality, it was they who were the jackasses for confusing north American lagomorph nomenclature. Also for all the colonialism and Native American genocide.
Though I guess it's good they didn't name them "Ass Hares".
Anyways, to tell rabbits and hares apart, remember that bnnuy rabbits are smol cute while hares are skrunkly cute.
And then there's pikas. Pikas are ridiculously cute. =:3
An early morning in the company of a few European hares/fältharar. Värmland, Sweden (July 17, 2020).
Watercolor hare on cotton paper + timelapse video. Later I decided on adding the black background. Tbh I'm not using this hellplace of tiktok but it's good for editing videos on mobile, so, uhhh, sorry for that evil label.
Bunnies: teeheehee :3 hewwooo :33
Hares: Dying’s just another way to pass the time. Flies come for all of us, but there will be more. There is always more.
Hares/Jackrabbits
A drove of Jackrabbits have been snooping/playing around the house last night. This is some of their foot tracks which are going back deep into the woods.
Hope to see them again so I can have the chance to get some pictures of these Jackrabbits.

Definitely Jackrabbits are way earlier than birds. But the question is, how many of them?
if you don’t know the difference between a hare and a rabbit you’ve never gazed into the cold wild eyes of a hare and known that if it could speak it would speak backwards
