Jackrabbit Facts | 10 Animal Facts about Jackrabbits Animal Science TV

    • Science

Why do jackrabbits have such huge donkey ears? What is up with the cute jiggly nose? Jackrabbits are one of the most successful animals and thrive in all 4 of the major North American deserts.

Jackrabbits can eat almost any vegetation and have some impressive natural defenses that help them elude predators like mountain lions, snakes, and hawks!

The jackrabbit is actually not a rabbit at all. It is a hare!

My favorite fun fact about jackrabbits is how they punch each other like humans, standing on 2 legs.

Here, the Jackrabbit is explained in great detail. This video contains everything you need to know.

Annoyingly, "jackrabbit" is also correctly spelled as "jack-rabbit," and "jack rabbit." No space, hyphen, or with space... all is OK!

Enjoy HD graphics and English narration with these 10 Jackrabbit Facts!
