Jackrabbits are not rabbits

Rabbits and hares are different genuses. It's not really accurate to call a jackrabbit a rabbit as they are hares. 

They're called that because early American settlers thought jackrabbits looked kinda like a European rabbit with a jackass's (donkey's) ears.

In reality, it was they who were the jackasses for confusing north American lagomorph nomenclature. Also for all the colonialism and Native American genocide.

Though I guess it's good they didn't name them "Ass Hares".

Anyways, to tell rabbits and hares apart, remember that bnnuy rabbits are smol cute while hares are skrunkly cute.

And then there's pikas. Pikas are ridiculously cute. =:3

I took it as a sign, the dreams came first -

A black bunny at my door

One week later,

The first rabbit I had seen in years,

A small shadow with tall ears sat waiting

In the driveway when I got home

And he was there every day

Until Winter came and I lost him

If the universe was trying to tell me something,

I never understood

But if it was strictly coincidence

Then I refuse to believe it

Pikachu was never fat, he was puff

So, the original Pikachu art looks like this:

Commonly called "fat Pikachu"

Whereas contemporary art looks like this:

The above pictures of the real-life pika show Pikachu's shape did not change; he was just in his "puff" posture

Cute Pika Steals Food From Neighbours | Mammals | BBC Earth

Some adorable pikas wait all winter for the sun to shine, so they can gather food and build their nests. But other cheeky pikas wait for their neighbors to do the hard work while sit back and wait for the perfect time to strike.

Born to survive. Built to thrive. #Mammals.
