Usually when I see jackrabbits, they are busy darting away and not posing like this female Black-tailed Jackrabbit. I made a brief stop to snap this photo from my truck window so that I didn't disturb her. I had never seen a lactating jackrabbit before so I was especially thrilled. The bright green mesquite pod "cigar" in her mouth was an added bonus!
