Hey guys, is this a piebald jackrabbit? if not what would you call it? I got it yesterday with my 17 HMR and noticed it was more highlighted in the sunlight than usual as it was running away.

Looks like something I used to keep in a hutch.......kidding. But it may actually have some domestic rabbit in the genes.

Could it be a snowshoe mid color phase change?

White-tailed jack rabbits turn white in the winter. I don't know if that is what you have there but it could be. I don't think that is a snowshoe.

Nice job, and that is a nice rifle!
 
Theres No snowshoes here, just black tail jacks and cottontails. It could be possible its part domestic.

rugerider, thanks, here it is better.

Myth #10
Domestic rabbits can interbreed with hares and cottontails
--Fluff 'N Stuff Rabbitry (est 1987)

The Truth: Hares (Lepus) have 24 pairs of chromosomes while the domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus) has 22 and the cottontail (Sylvilagus) has 21 pair. While mating is possible between the different species, the resulting embryos will die after a few cell divisions because of the differences in the number of chromosome pairs.
