Transcription: Jack rabbits probably avoid overheating by staying in the shade through the hottest part of the day, if possible in a shallow depression to avoid the heat at the ground and in a breeze to encourage heat loss from those ears. But it's cooler in the shade, so body heat will be lost from those ears anyway, whether there's a breeze or not. Late afternoon and early evening when it's cooler outside, the jack rabbit can go looking for food without risk of overheating.
