An shot from today. There's six in the front yard in this one, and getting them crammed in like this results in territorial behaviour.

The three across the center of the frame, from left to right are:

1) "Boxing" the one in the middle.
2) Jumping straight up in the air to escape the boxing, since there's basically another jackrabbit in every other direction. He's a good 50-60cm in the air here, and went higher before coming down.
3) Preparing to rear up, possibly taking up the boxing challenge of #1.

The other three aren't in the thick of it yet.

Six white-tailed jackrabbits (a species of hare) are in a snow-covered front yard in the prairies of Canada. They are caught in the middle of a bit of a melee, as they're in a fairly small area and they are territorial and solitary. At center-left, one has its front paws in the air, "boxing" towards the one in the middle of the frame. At center-right, another is just starting to rear up, again facing the one in the middle. At center of frame, a jackrabbit is in mid-air, having jumped straight upwards to escape the developing fight. Three additional jacks look on, two from the background, and one in the bottom-right corner of the frame.
