Explanation:

Charles Darwin's Theory of evolution suggests that living beings only evolves to adapt in the environment in which they live.The area which is hot and dry with mild winters is called chaparral environment areas. Each continent has unique ecosystem in the chaparral environment with plants and animals endemic to that area.

The jackrabbit with long black tail is found in the chaparral environments, which is actually a hare. They have large ears, which not only detect predators but they also helps in cooling in hot temperatures. They also have furry paws which gives them insulation against the "scorching rocks" found in that habitat.
