Antelope Jackrabbits are very
versatile in the sense that they make their homes
in a variety of conditions. They can be found
in sandy deserts as well as grassy fields.
The Antelope Jackrabbit is a large surface area
on their ears which helps to expel the heat from
their body. This is a common trait of rabbits
and hares that live in hot climates.
The Antelope Jackrabbit is noted for its large
hind legs. This characteristic allows them to
run fast and jump high when attempting to escape
from predators.
