Do jackrabbits have long hairs to help keep them cool from the hot temperatures in the Southwest

1 answer

Yes, jackrabbits have long hairs that help to insulate them from extreme temperatures, both hot and cold. The long hairs help to trap air close to their bodies, providing insulation in colder weather and helping to keep them cool in hot temperatures. Additionally, the jackrabbit's large ears also help to regulate their body temperature by dissipating heat.
