Black-tailed and Antelope Jackrabbit.

Jackrabbit Fight

A jackrabbit may fight to show dominance. Biting and nipping are also mating behaviour. Paradoxically, rabbits may even fight as part of their bonding process. Bonded rabbits can fight, too.

Jackrabbit Running

They can leap distances of up to 20 feet and run as fast as 40 miles per hour, often sprinting in a zig-zag pattern.

We Love Animals.

The capybara or greater capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) is the largest living rodent, native to South America. It is a member of the genus Hydrochoerus. The only other extant member is the lesser capybara (Hydrochoerus isthmius). Its close relatives include guinea pigs and rock cavies, and it is more distantly related to the agouti, the chinchilla, and the nutria. The capybara inhabits savannas and dense forests, and lives near bodies of water. It is a highly social species and can be found in groups as large as one hundred individuals, but usually live in groups of 10 to 20 individuals. The capybara is hunted for its meat and hide and also for grease from its thick fatty skin.

TURR

What is TURR?

"At the Urban Rescue Ranch Nonprofit we wear a lot of hats! Like most farm sanctuaries and domestic rescues--we take in animals in need and provide them the love and care they deserve as we find a more suitable home for them. However, what makes us unique is that we are also a prospective wildlife rehab and utilize sustainable farming and homesteading practices to educate and inspire the public (particularly our youth!). Our goal is to show you just how easy animal rescue can be and how it can (and SHOULD) go hand in hand with sustainable farming/homesteading practices. Join us as we create and manage the homestead and all of the animals we have saved and continue to save--including Chickens, Ducks, Rabbits, Piglets, Sheep, Goats, Geese, Pigeons, Turtles, and even "exotic" livestock farmed for meat and hunting such as Ratites (Ostrich, Emu, and Rhea), non-native Deer (Fallow, Axis, and Red Stag), and even Kangaroos!"

BEN

Ben Christie, more famously known as Uncle Ben, is the main protagonist (and possibly overarching villain), founder, owner, and narrator of The Urban Rescue Ranch, as well as the creator of TURR TikTok and YouTube channels. Because of his success online, Ben was able to leave his office job to run his Ranch and create content full-time. Ben is currently working hard on a farm in Waco, Texas. He is now a horse girl.

Ben describes himself as follows:

"My name is uncle Ben and I'm the founder and owner of TURR. I have a huge passion for animals, be it learning about them, raising them, or rescuing them. What started as a fun hobby of backyard farming and animal rescue at Baylor University led to a lifestyle and vision for this rescue. I'm currently working on my wildlife rehab permit to run our own practice and will continue to rescue farm animals and domestics until then and long after. I currently do most of the rescue work and most of the social media management."

BIGGERTON OUNCERTON III

Biggerton Ouncerton III (12 BC - 2023 AD), known colloquially as Big Ounce or Ouncerton, was a black-tailed prairie dog and one of three tritagonists of The Urban Rescue Ranch (the others being DaBaby and Queen). He acted as a companion to Uncle Ben and many of the other creatures on the farm. He was the king of Ouncetopia, having reclaimed the throne, ending a long villain arc with his arch nemesis, Mr. Mrs. Ounce after his tumor was cured.

Sad info alert:

"In mid-November 2023, Biggerton sadly passed away from old age. However rumours have spread that his soul may have been reincarnated split in two or three. Our beloved Big Ounce died without offspring, nor lovers. Biggerton Ounce was beloved by many and was proud to call the majority of creatures his friends. Big Ounce will be missed and will continue his saintly work in another world."
