Shouldn't this be sectioned?
This is really hard to find info and is really scattered so if anyone would help and put the sign for reorganizing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ssbtoday (talk • contribs) 01:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

also would somebody please get verification on that data: I for one, do not believe a hare capable of jumping 19 feet in a single bound. Wikivandalism? Because honestly thats twice the length of my car, and Hares do not have wings, unless this vandal decides to read this comment. -Fletcherman —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.15.242 (talk) 05:24, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Lead image
The creature previously depicted in the lead image was indeed that of a black-tailed jackrabbit. However, I was concerned that the animal depicted was not the most representative of this species. The depicted individual appeared to be quite a bit fatter, with a thicker coat, and more pronounced facial markings than most of the wild specimens I have seen. While Lepus californicus is a very large hare, wild specimens usually appear to be much leaner than the previous specimen. I do not wish to nitpick, but I worry that a reader using Wikipedia to identify an unknown specimen observed in the wild may be misled. Accordingly, I have replaced the lead image with a more representative image of the species---one which better demonstrates the black tail, lean body and impossibly large ears of this beautiful animal.
