How do you distinguish between a jack rabbit and normal rabbit?
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
Is a Lab the same as a Golden Retriever?
No, they are entirely different breeds. Both are retrievers, as the Labrador Retriever.
The nickname for the Golden Retriever is "goldie" or a Golden. Both are breeds of dogs.
Within both breeds there is great variation: coat, size, head, jaws.
Labs tend to have short hair; the goldies have longer hair, and if they are inside animals, they have to be brushed more often, unless you just like hair balls in corners and such.
Labs tend to be overly hyper and exitable till they are five, and even after that they don't quite 'grow up' mentally. Retreivers tend to calm down at 3 years of age, so they are more recommended for little kids then the lab. and are among the most registered dogs in the US.
While is is not smart to ever leave a child (your definition and age limits) with a dog alone, generally, these both breeds are not inclined to chew promiscuously upon children. As with all dogs, don't bet the farm on it, however.
Check the links following for images and more information about the two separate and distinct breeds.
What is the difference between young and mature livestock?
Young livestock are stock that are still growing, or are at a young age. Young stock are typically used for meat production, but others are grown for breeding purposes.

How do you tell the difference between a pinto and a paint?
the difference is one of them has thouroughbred or quarter horse in it the other doesnt
A horse of any breed that has any of the various spotting patterns (except for those
associated with Appaloosas) can be registered in the Pinto Horse registry. This includes Paint horses.
A paint horse has been bred for spots as well as stock work, racing and (like the quarter horse) has several physical types for the purpose of showing english, western, reining, etc. On the whole they are genetically similar to the quarter horse and Thoroughbred...because the registry has concentrated on using these breeds to produce type once the spotting patterns were fixed in the breed.
The Paint horse began as 'Crop outs' from the Quarter horse breed, who's owners and breeders did not want 'excessive' white on their horses. The American Paint Association also allowed Thoroughbreds to be registered with them, thus adding more bloodlines to the breed. Pinto is actually just a marking, but horses with pinto markings do have their own registry, it's based solely on color and not bloodlines however.
How do you litterbox train a bunny?
Well I'm no expert but a saw a video on youtube.com (which included an expert) that sad that if your rabbit "goes to the toilet" everywhere ( usually in corners) put some newspaper there and when it "goes to the toilet" take a peace of the newspaper with the pee och poo on the peace and place it in the litterbox. Then your rabbit will recognise the smell of the paper/pee/poo and "go to the toilet" there. It takes about a week until it only goes in the litterbox. And buy a litterbox for bunny's sense they are shaped like a triangle (and put the litterbox in a corner).

Dwarf rabbits are basically the same as all pet rabbits, so you can tell their sex (male/female) in the same ways.
It's very difficult to tell if a baby rabbit is male or female. Until the testicles descend (anywhere from 9 to 20 weeks of age), you can't tell if a rabbit is male or female. See the related question below for more details.
What is the difference between a dolphin and a porpoise?
Dolphin
Closely related to porpoises, dolphins are much larger and have many more subspecies. Dolphins' teeth are not spade-shaped at all, being more cone-like.
Dolphins, along with bonobos, are some of the only animals known to have sex for reasons other than reproduction. They are more easily trained than porpoises, and more popular in zoos and so forth for that reason.
They are considered the most intelligent of the animals and are more prevalent in human culture than porpoises.
There has been reports of dolphins eating porpoises.
Porpoise
Porpoises are members of the family Phocoenidae, with spade-shaped teeth and six species in the family. They are smaller and stouter than dolphins, and raise their young faster than dolphins do. Unlike dolphins, they lack beaks. Porpoises acclimate to tank life less well than dolphins. Porpoises are not commonly seen in popular culture, they are also known to be gentler than dolphins.
What is the difference between seals and sea lions?

What is is the difference between tunicates and lancelets?

What is the difference between a falcon and a hawk?
A falcon has a notch on the beak that is used for breaking the neck of their prey. The hawk's beak has a simpler, smoother curve and they typically use the talons on their feet to kill their prey. The peregrine falcon is one of the fastest animals in the world, flying up to 200 mph in a dive, while hawks are typically much slower and prefer to glide with much slower wing stroke. Hawks tend to be larger than most falcons. Falcons have long wings, hawk's wings are generally shorter. Many species of both hawk and falcon are endangered.
All species of Falcon fall under the same genus as each other (Falco) while hawks fall into several genera.

How strong is a horse compared to a human?
A horses strength varies according to its height, age, weight, breed and body type. A newborn foal for example, is not nearly as strong as a human. But compare a clydesdale to a human, the clydesdale could crush the person.
In other words, if we were to fight a horse with our bare hands, without tools, we would lose.
That is a great question!
Cattle, scientifically known as "Bos taurus" have a specific name for both male and female sexes. The male is called a Bull and the female a Cow. It's almost like learning another language where instead of being called a male he's called a Bull and instead of her being called a female she's called a Cow. Steer is a term you will hear as well. A Steer is a bull that has been neutered or castrated. A lot of people use the term 'Cow' in place of 'Cattle' as a sort of abbreviation.
