A “jackrabbits are easier” ping.

I have heard that a man can run down a horse. Man’s endurance is greater. However the item in the article which is significant is that the prey animal has developed techniques to throw man off of the trail. Ancient man had to get close. He also could set traps.

Thanks for the “jackrabbits are easier” ping. They’re not anywhere near as fast as a pronghorn, and they only sprint for a couple hundred yards at a time. About ten sprints at 104 degrees and they’re all done.
