WHAT DOES JACK RABBIT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

jack rabbit

Hare

Hares and jackrabbits are leporids belonging to the genus Lepus. A hare less than one year old is called a leveret. Four species commonly known as types of hare are classified outside of Lepus: the hispid hare, and three species known as red rock hares. Hares are very fast-moving animals; the European brown hare is able to run at speeds of up to 56 km/h. The five species of jackrabbit found in central and western North America are able to run at 64 km/h, and can leap up to 3m at a time. They live solitarily or in pairs, while a "drove" is the collective noun for a group of hares. A common type of hare in Arctic North America is the snowshoe hare, replaced farther south by the black-tailed jackrabbit, white-tailed jackrabbit, and other species. Normally a shy animal, the European brown hare changes its behavior in spring, when hares can be seen in daytime chasing one another; this appears to be competition between males to attain dominance. During this spring frenzy, hares can be seen "boxing"; one hare striking another with its paws.
