They can consume very large quantities of grasses and plants—including desert species such as sagebrush and cacti. There are five other species of jackrabbits, all found in central and western North America. They are speedy animals capable of reaching 40 miles an hour, and their powerful hind legs can propel them on leaps of more than ten feet.
