Antelope jackrabbits grooming themselves

The Antelope jackrabbit gets its name from John Asaph Allen, a past curator at the American Museum of Natural History’s Department of Mammals and Birds. The name ‘jackrabbit’ is thought to be due to the large size of this animal’s ears. According to locals, their ears look like donkey ears. Therefore, the early settlers called it ‘jackass rabbit’, later shortened to ‘jackrabbit’. Basically, a jackrabbit is a large-eared hare with long hind legs. The Antelope jackrabbit’s ears are not only used for hearing, but also to regulate and reduce body heat for survival during hot conditions.
