My Rabbit bike lane & mascot rabbit

Jackrabbits actually do change to white in the winter in northern climates, their other name is Varying Hare. Snowshoe hares are much less common in areas as far south as Calgary, but they can show up.
I lived in a condo apartment on Heritage Drive for many years that was frequently visited by jackrabbits. They became quite used to people and wouldn't run away until you were almost next to them. It wasn't uncommon to see groups of three or four hopping around the neighbourhood, and when I bought a duplex a few blocks away, they did a surprisingly good job of pruning the rose bushes out front. The tea rose, in particular, would bloom much better after an early spring nosh by the local hares. I always felt sorry for them during Chinooks, the grass would be brown but they'd still be pure white. Or we'd get a late snow fall after they'd already started going brown again.
Even if it is a feral domestic, the cold won't bother it and it should find enough to eat. It's main danger is from coyotes, weasels, and loose dogs. I had pet rabbits outside in hutches growing up, and they were fine all winter. We gave them a box with lots of straw to bed down in and extra food for calories.
