Jackrabbits are actually hares.

Hares and rabbits are closely related: they belong to different genera, but they're classified in the same family (Leporidae, of the order Lagomorpha).

Hares give birth to their babies above-ground, while rabbits give birth to babies in underground burrows. Baby hares (leverets) are born with fur and they're able to see, while baby rabbits (kits) are born blind and naked.

Hares tend to have longer legs, ears, and faces than rabbits do, but there is variation between different species.
