I don't know. Maybe they ought to change their mascot name to the 'Cottontails' instead. Besides which, I can't tell which type of jackrabbit they are. Are they a 'black-tailed or 'white-tailed' jack? If a blacktailed, then they'd be confusing since that would be Lepus californicus, a desert dweller in four southwestern deserts: Mojave, Sonoran, Chiluahuan, etc. Where do they get 'jackrabbits' in South Dakota then?..or do they like being called 'californicators?
Besides which, again, jackrabbits don't have cottontails. That fluffy snow white underside of their tail, that cute little cotton ball and all, talk about something more reminiscent of South Dakota than that I can't wager against. They're so cute and all. Besides which, again & again, a jackrabbit is a solitary creature while cottontails are much more sociable, slower as well.
This is really going to be a heart breaker if they don't bring back good o' Bugs.
