They are small, flexible, and fast-moving. Their size helps them stay underground and in small bushes or other spaces as such. They are very flexible, which helps them run, avoid enemies, and hide. They also have very large feet that let them hop long distances and run.

Adaptations of the jackrabbit include

  • long ears for heat dissipation to keep cool - this done via blood vessels in the ears which expand to allow the blood to cool; in the same way, it can decrease the blood flow through its ears in the winter to stay warmer.
  • strong back legs to enable them to escape predators quickly
  • large eyes which are positioned further back on its head so it has a wide range of vision, being able to see in front, behind and overhead simultaneously
  • rather than running from predators in a predictable straight line, jackrabbits zigzag erratically to evade danger
  • jackrabbits will scratch out a hollow at the base of a shrub or amid a clump or tussock of tall grass, thus is shaded from the heat. During cold weather, it creates a nest under thick foliage for protection it from harsh winds.

Long ears- Helps to pick up sounds of predators. Filled with blood vessels which funnel out heat.

Long hind legs- Enable the rabbits to jump great heights and have an incredible speed. They also thump the legs hard on the ground to alert others of danger.

Fur (usually brown or tan)- Helps to camouflage the rabbit in tall grass making it harder for predators to spot it.

Whiskers- Help it navigate its way through dark tunnels it has dug underground.

Teeth- Four long incisors in the front of the mouth to bite through vegetation. And molars (hidden in the back of the mouth) chew up food.
