Does anyone know anything about the Jack Rabbits in the San Francisco Bay Area? When these suckers are sitting on their hind legs with their ears sticking straight up I could swear they are the size of Kangaroos (maybe two and half feet).
Atticus - you seem to know all things bay area. What about the Jack Rabbits?
My neighbor thinks her cat was eaten by a coyote. I have seen foxes but no coyotes. She thinks the foxes are not big enough to eat a cat.
Atticus?

Sorry to say, Sidd is wrong. the rabbit you saw, native to the northern california area, amongst others, is commonly known as the black-tailed jackrabbit, or more formally the Lepus californicus, and can reach a length up to 25 (plus) inches from hind legs to head with ears that are an additional six to seven inches long. So two and half plus feet. As a child I raised such rabbits for sporting competition and had a few that got to be well over 3 feet from toes to tip of the ears.
Was Sidd drinking kool-aid before he got there?
