Head-body 570 mm,tail 96 mm, ear 110 mm, hindfoot 121 mm; weight ¢.2-5 kg (all measurements are means from five specimens). The Black Jackrabbit is medium-sized. Top of head, dorsal fur, nape, and top oftail are glossy black. Sides of head are blackish and grizzled with gray. Eye rings are gray. Insides of ears are gray, and outsides are blackish. Shoulders,sides, and hindlegs are dark buff or cinnamon-buff, and color becomes clearer ventrally. Forelegs are similar to sides of body but more rusty or reddish. Tops of toes are dark buff, and black line extends along inner sides of hindfeet from toes to a little above heels. Underside oftail is dull buffy brown, and underside of head is dark iron gray. Rest of under parts varies from dark cinnamon-buff to dusky brown. Dark color of the Black Jackrabbit makes it extraordinarily conspicuous on open or rocky ground, even when motionless.
