To further elaborate on Kelly McAllister's comments about Jack Rabbits (or
Jackrabbits or Jack-Rabbits; sure wish mammals had a recognized arbitrator
of common and scientific names like birds).
White-tailed and Black-tailed Jacks have similar mapped ranges in the
Columbia Basin, but White-tails tend to be more likely in cooler grasslands
and Black-tails more likely in the hotter parts of the Basin.
The White-tail Gap map link is:

("leto.jif" for LEpus TOwnsendii)
The Yakima area is hot. Black-tails are more likely, but White-tails are
possible.
