According to National Geographic: “Jackrabbits were named for their ears, which initially caused some people to refer to them as ‘jackass rabbits.’ The writer Mark Twain brought this name to fame by using it in his book of western adventure, Roughing It. The name was later shortened to jackrabbit.”
Let’s shorten it further and call this one Jack. Technically he’s a hare anyway, given his size.
Square One Notes 
I know he hears us talking about him, Sandra. Yikes. He hears the whole world around him. He surely does look part kangaroo. You nailed it.

Thank you Chris! I wonder what it’s like to have a set of ears that large. And what about ticks out in this open field? Are they immune to lyme disease? I’ve got questions for these guys.

Great questions but I wouldn’t rely on the hares for answers. I wonder if the ears get in their way.
