Looking thru' Linaeus's Cataloging They are different. Both classed as LEPUS (snow shoe as a rabbit Americanus) (the mountain as a hare Timidus). The Mountain looks much more like a Brown hare than the Snow shoe which is more Rabbit shaped. Another load of useless information.. They both have Big Back feet..

I'm originally from the Deep South (Georgia) and we only have cottontail rabbits. There are two or three varieties and they do differ, in size, habitat, etc. All the other species are exotic to me.

Here in Eastern Kansas we have cottontails. Western Kansas also has jackrabbits, but I haven't seen one in this area for years. I grew up in south-central Nebraska and we had both cottontails and jackrabbits. Jackrabbits are very rare there now due primarily to habitat change. There is now much more crop land and very few pastures in the area where I was and even the crop land is mostly irrigated with very little wheat ground or summer fallow.

I spend time in two places. In North Carolina there is pretty much 4 distinct seasons (weather wise) and one hunting season plus spring turkey. In Texas, there seems to be summer for about 9 or 10 months and fall for the remainder, just two weather seasons. The hunting seasons never really end. To me, time in perspective seems longer when I am in NC and experience the changes in nature. In Texas it seems like time flies by.
Well black fly season has commenced again here in NH, Then when it ends it will be tourist season.
Most of us prefer black fly season cause when they bother you you can slap the crap out of them and no one cares.

They use to cover my bikes and me when riding some years, billions of them.
Our tourist season starts about then to. Which is great because it means thousands have buggered off somewhere else!

A black fly is not a mayfly.
Hi MntMan. Wan't suggestig they were, just following up Smoothies comment about our Mayfly. The only Black flies I can remember were little Black flies that came with the corn harvest and got everywhere. We always called 'em Harvest Mites and they came in clouds. Modern pesticides seem to have got rid of them and lots of other small song bird food.. OLD DOG..

I have no love for black flies. Same with horse flies. They bite hard and deep.
