Regardless of what name you give your emissions, most healthy people release gas throughout the day â the average is between 14 and 23 times per day. Excessive flatulence has two harmless causes: Eating foods that make you pass gas and swallowing air.
Hares have large, long ears, long legs, and a larger body size than rabbits. The whitetail jackrabbit is the largest hare in the Great Plains, having a head and body length of 18 to 22 inches (46 to 56 cm) and weighing 5 to 10 pounds (2.2 to4.5 kg). It is brownish gray in summer and white or pale gray in winter.
Several species of haresâincluding the Arctic hare (Lepus arcticus), the mountain hare (L. timidus), and the snowshoe hare (L. americanus)âturn from brown or grayish to white in the winter. The color change is thought to be at least partially linked to photoperiodâthat is, the amount of light received during the day.
