Jackrabbit!

We spotted this jackrabbit just south of Marathon on the "Ride to the Post" heritage bike route. 

This little guy reminded us of the children's book, How the Jackrabbit Got His Very Long Ears, by Heather Irbinskas, which is available at local bookstores, Front Street Books in Alpine and Marathon,  and Marfa Book Company in Marfa, as well as local visitors centers at museums and regional state parks!
