John James Audubon, renowned for his extensive studies and illustrations of North American birds, also made significant contributions to the documentation of mammals. One of his notable works in this domain is the illustration of the Black-tailed Hare. This piece is part of Audubon's ambitious project, "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," which he undertook in collaboration with his sons, John Woodhouse Audubon and Victor Gifford Audubon, and the naturalist Rev. John Bachman. The project aimed to document and illustrate the diverse mammalian fauna of North America, similar to Audubon's earlier work, "The Birds of America."

The Black-tailed Hare, also known as the Desert Hare or Jackrabbit, is a species native to the western United States and Mexico. Audubon's illustration captures the hare in its natural habitat, showcasing his characteristic attention to detail and commitment to realism. The artwork not only highlights the physical attributes of the hare, such as its distinctive black-tipped ears and tail but also provides a glimpse into its environment, emphasizing the interplay between the animal and its surroundings.

Audubon's work on mammals, including the Black-tailed Hare, was groundbreaking at the time, as it combined scientific accuracy with artistic excellence. His illustrations were based on direct observations and specimens, which he meticulously studied and depicted. This approach set a new standard for wildlife illustration and contributed significantly to the field of natural history.

"The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" was published in three volumes between 1845 and 1848, featuring 150 hand-colored lithographs. The project was well-received and remains a valuable resource for both scientists and art enthusiasts. Audubon's portrayal of the Black-tailed Hare exemplifies his dedication to capturing the beauty and diversity of North American wildlife, solidifying his legacy as one of the foremost naturalists and artists of his time.
