黑尾长耳大野兔
哺乳动物物种
黑尾长耳大野兔（学名：Lepus californicus）又称黑尾杰克兔（英语：Black-tailed jackrabbit）[2]，是美国西部与墨西哥北部常见的一种野兔，体长约60公分，重1.4—2.7公斤；雌兔体型大于雄兔[3][4]。本种为北美原生分布最广的野兔，东至密苏里州，南至墨西哥下加利福尼亚与萨卡特卡斯州，现分布范围正往北美大平原东部扩张[5]，并已被人为引入美国东部多地[6][7]。黑尾长耳大野兔下已有17种亚种被描述，但此数目可能过多，有学者以外型特征将本种分为两大亚种，分别为洛矶山脉与科罗拉多河以西的L. c. californicus与以东的L. c. texianus[8]。

| 黑尾长耳大野兔的分布范围 | |
黑尾长耳大野兔分布的环境多样，包括草地、灌木丛、耕地、浓密常绿阔叶灌丛、帕卢斯、沙漠、落叶林与针叶林等[9][10][11]。本种不会迁徙，亦无冬眠行为[7][11]；以环境中的多种植物为食[12]，为多种猛禽[13][14]与野猫、野狗、郊狼、短尾猫、加拿大猞猁、赤狐、灰狐与美洲獾等多种掠食者的重要猎物[7][11][15]。人类捕猎本种的目的一般为避免庄稼被破坏或休闲之用，而非为食用[7]。
