Rabbit is the general name of all types of rabbit family. The rabbit has long ears, and the hind legs are much longer than the front leg. Rabbit is the most widely distributed in eastern Asia, southern, Africa and North America, and only a few are distributed in Europe and South America. Rabbit is more common in desert, desertized grasslands, tropical sparse forests, dried grasslands and forests.
According to the body type, rabbits can be divided into large rabbits, medium rabbits and small rabbits. Large rabbits are about 5 to 8 kg, medium -sized rabbits weigh around 2 to 4 kg, and small rabbits weigh less than 2 kg.
Rabbit's eyes are on both sides of the face. Because the ancestors of humans and rabbits have different living habits, their eyes are different. Human ancestors are apes and need to climb trees to get fruits. In order to climb the tree to pick the fruit, they have evolved good vision and ability to distinguish between colors.
The rabbit itself is herbivorous, they do not need to climb the tree to pick fruit. The rabbit mainly requires a wide range of vision range and the ability to avoid the beast. Rabbit's vision range is about 360 degrees. So what happened behind it can also be seen. Rabbit can see things far away, including things invisible to the naked eye of humans.
When rabbits are scared, they will pat the ground with their hind legs. In the wild, when the enemy is approaching, the rabbit will use the hind leg to pat the ground to inform the danger around the companions. The rabbit does not make a sound to convey the emotion with his mouth, but it can use the back leg to pat the ground to convey the information.
In most cases, only male rabbits will beat the ground with hind legs. The purpose of this action is to tell the female rabbit's own existence. Therefore, the male rabbit patting the ground with his legs is actually a way to show love to the female rabbit. During the estrus of the male rabbit, you can often hear the sound of his legs beating the ground.
Rabbit is a timid animal, and it becomes panic when he hear a little sound around. When it encounters enemies, it can make judgments with keen hearing and quickly run away with developed hind limbs. The rabbit is relatively weak and poor in defense, so they only come out at night and sleep in the cave during the day.
