How do you distinguish between a jack rabbit and normal rabbit?

Answer 1

Jack Rabbits/Hares do not bear their young below ground in a burrow but rather in a shallow depression or flattened nest of grass called a form. Young hares are adapted to the lack of physical protection offered by a burrow by being born fully furred and with eyes open. They are hence able to fend for themselves very quickly after birth, that is to say they are precocial. By contrast, the related rabbits and cottontail rabbits are altricial, having young that are born blind and hairless. All rabbits (except the cottontail rabbits) live underground in burrows or warrens, while hares (and cottontail rabbits) live in simple nests above the ground, and usually do not live in groups. Jack Rabbits/Hares are generally larger than regular rabbits, with longer ears, and have black markings on their fur. Jack Rabbits have not been domesticated, while rabbits are often kept as house pets. In gardens, they are typically kept in hutches, small, wooden, house-like boxes that protect the rabbits from the environment and predators. The Jack Rabbits diet is very similar to that of the regular rabbit

Wild rabbits are genrally bigger than most pet rabbits, wild rabbits are brown/black colour that is called Agouti, Their belly's are ushally white, you can also get black wild rabbits, if they are any other colour they are probably pet ones or used to have one pet coloured parent. Wild rabbits ears stick up.
