WHITE-TAILED JACKRABBITS ARE ABUNDANT IN OPEN SPACES WITHIN EDMONTON NEAR THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THEIR RANGE. THEY HAVE 2-3 LITTERS A YEAR TOTALLING ABOUT 12-14 YOUNG (LEVERETS). THE BABIES ARE VERY MOBILE AND LEAVE THE NEST AFTER A DAY OR TWO AND SCATTER. THEY LAY QUIETLY DURING THE DAY TO AVOID DETECTION AND THE FEMALE FINDS AND NURSES THEM INDIVIDUALLY UNDER THE COVER OF DARKNESS. THESE WERE FOUND BY STUDENTS IN A SCHOOLYARD NEAR MY HOME.
