Long Beach Airport's 600 Jackrabbits Roam Runways
Long Beach's airport hosts about 600 jackrabbits occupying 2 acres each amid hangars on a 41300 acre field.

Once mascots for Long Beach Polytechnic, the agile hares survived drought and pastures, now nesting near runways while avoiding human control efforts.
