Jack rabbits avoid predators by blending in with their surroundings, and by using their large ears to hear approaching animals. When they are attacked, they can run away quickly, or use their powerful hind legs to kick smaller predators. They do have sharp claws, and large front gnawing teeth, but use them mainly against other rabbits.
Rabbits are poorly-equipped to protect themselves, but can run very fast in short bursts of speed in a zig zag path (to confuse predators). They also hide in burrows and holes. The exception is that female rabbits (with young) will bite and scratch at humans and other animals that threaten the baby bunnies.
When rabbits feel danger, they may freeze in place, thump their hind feet, run away quickly, or hide in a burrow or dense vegetation to protect themselves from predators.
