Did you know the Black-Tailed Jackrabbit, commonly sighted throughout the Western United States, was originally called the Jackass Rabbit? 🫏🐇

This is because their sizable ears resemble the ears of a donkey. Being desert animals, both jackrabbits and donkeys stay cool by releasing heat through blood vessels in their large ears.
