10M views · 106K reactions | Antelope Jackrabbits like Cantaloupe are actually hares, not rabbits, contrary to their name. Hares have leaner bodies and slender legs (and larger ears!) - which makes them better runners. Because of this, hares tend to flee when facing danger, while rabbits tend to hide! They’re all adorable when they chew, though.  | Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum | Facebook
