Hares have large, long ears, long legs, and a larger body size than rabbits. The whitetail jackrabbit is the largest hare in the Great Plains, having a head and body length of 18 to 22 inches (46 to 56 cm) and weighing 5 to 10 pounds (2.2 to4.5 kg). It is brownish gray in summer and white or pale gray in winter.
