DESCRIPTION:
Wt=10 lbs (4.5 kg.). Overall brown, but can flash white patches on its flanks.
Its long ears are edged with white (compared to the black-tipped ears of
Black-tailed Jackrabbits). Also, compared to
Black-tailed Jackrabbits, Antelope Jackrabbits tend to inhabit drier areas.
NATURAL HISTORY: Herbivorous. Generally nocturnal or crepuscular, they spend
the day above ground, resting in the shade of a plant. This is the largest
of the three rabbits and hares spotlit here. See What
is the Difference between Rabbits and Hares. |
