Hop-tastic Movement
Rabbits are known for their incredible hopping skills! They can jump really high and run super fast. This helps them escape from predators.
Big Ears for Listening

Teeth That Never Stop Growing
Rabbits have teeth that keep growing all their lives! To keep them from getting too long, they like to chew on things like hay and vegetables.
Burrowing Experts
Rabbits are great at digging holes and tunnels in the ground. These cozy spaces are called burrows, and they use them to hide, sleep, and raise their babies.
Herbivores at Heart
Rabbits are herbivores, which means they only eat plants. Their favorite foods are leafy greens, vegetables, and hay. Carrots are a famous treat for them!

Rabbits are social creatures that thrive in the company of other rabbits. In the wild, they live in groups called colonies. They communicate with each other using a variety of sounds and body language. For example, they thump their hind legs to alert others of danger and use soft purring sounds to express contentment.

These creatures are prolific breeders, with a single female rabbit, known as a doe, capable of having several litters of kits (baby rabbits) each year. The gestation period for a rabbit is about 30 days, and a single litter can consist of up to eight kits.

In addition to their diet, rabbits also practice a behavior called “coprophagy,” where they consume their own feces. This may sound strange, but it’s an essential part of their digestive process, helping them extract all the nutrients from their food.
