White-tailed jackrabbits (Lepus townsendii) are animals of the high mountains and plains (taxonomically, they are hares, not rabbits). They are quite similar to the other species of North American jackrabbits, such as the black-tailed jackrabbit and the desert-dwelling antelope jackrabbit. Unlike other jackrabbits, the white-tailed jackrabbit turns white in winter. This summer-pelaged individual was in the Pawnee Grasslands in northeastern Colorado.
