Jackrabbit

Jackrabbits use their enormous ears not only to hear potential predators, but also to cool themselves off during the hot days.  Jackrabbits are amazing athletes, and can jump up to 20 feet in one leap to evade predators.  When running from a predator, the jackrabbit will flash the white underside of its tail in order to warn other jackrabbits in the area of the danger.
