Congratulations!!!

You made the correct
choice. While Jackrabbits don't have antlers or horns it is fun
to see what they would look like if they did. Why don't
you go back and pick the pair of antlers
or horns you think would look funniest on a Jackrabbit.
FUN FACTS
ABOUT JACKRABBITS:
- Jackrabbits are
not rabbits at all but rather hares. Hares are born with hair
and start moving around and eating vegetation shortly after
birth. Rabbits are hairless and totally dependent on their mothers
after birth.
- Their big ears
act as effective sound collectors and air conditioners. They
help dissipate body heat.
- The jackrabbits
that live in Yellowstone are called white-tailed jackrabbits.
- White-tailed jackrabbits
have bright yellow eyes.
- Yellowstones
jackrabbits live in the sagebrush and grasslands.
- They hide in brush
to avoid predators but if detected can attain speeds of 40 mph
to avoid being caught.
- When the days get
shorter in the fall the decreasing light triggers a change in
the color of the white-tailed jackrabbit's coat. It turns white
which helps camouflage the jackrabbit against the snow.
- The jackrabbit
was named after the donkeys more common nickname because
of its long donkey-like ears.
