National Museum of Natural History: American Mammals: White Tailed Jackrabbit

Curated by ACT

White-tailed Jackrabbits live at a remarkably broad range of elevations, from 40 m to 4,300 m, and where they are in competition with Black-tailed Jackrabbits, they tend to move toward higher elevations. They are slightly larger than black-tails but seem to be more selective in their dietary choices, putting them at a disadvantage where the two species overlap. Learn more about the Lepus townsendii, more commonly known as a White-tailed Jackrabbit, in this easy-to-read species overview by the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
