The White-Tailed Jackrabbit is
common to grasslands all across western North
America. They can also occassionally be found
in forested areas. During the daylight hours these
jackrabbits are usually found laying in small
holes which they dig in the ground. These holes
generally have some form of plant cover above
them to hide the rabbit from potential predators.
Their main food consists of grass and shrubs which
are found in and around their habitat.
