TGIF!

Today we're reading from The Burgess Animal Book for Children, chapter 3 (More of Peter's Long-Legged Cousins). We learned about:
The Swamp Hare
Related to the Marsh Hare, another hare who loves the water. Who knew rabbits would swim?

The Arctic Hare

The White-Tailed Jack
The largest hare

The Antelope Jack
This guy has the ability to move his hair on his back and turn himself almost pure white in order to signal other antelope jack rabbits. Pretty cool!

The Plain ol' Jack Rabbit


Here's a site that tells The difference between a rabbit and a hare
