A jack jumper is a species of venomous ant native to Australia and most commonly found in Tasmania.
As the name suggests, it is known for its ability to jump long distances.

Alongside Tridents, Jack Jumpers beat ‘Pride’ and ‘Mountaineers’ for naming rights.
Both the ‘Tigers’ and ‘Devils’ were not considered due to their respective links with cricket and AFL.
