One of the most distinctive features of rabbits is their long ears. These ears not only help them hear well but also assist in regulating their body temperature. They are very fast animals; some species can reach speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour, which gives them a great advantage when escaping predators.

Rabbits don’t chew cud, but their teeth grow continuously, so they need to keep gnawing on things to wear them down. That’s why chewing is a common behavior. Their digestive systems are very sensitive, and they need a high-fiber diet, especially hay, to stay healthy.

00:00Rabbits are herbivorous mammals belonging to the Leporidae family and are commonly found
00:05in many parts of the world.
00:07They can live both in the wild and as domestic pets.
00:12One of the most well-known species is the European rabbit and many pet rabbits are descended
00:17from this species.
00:19One of the most distinctive features of rabbits is their long ears.
00:24These ears not only help them hear well, but also assist in regulating their body temperature.
00:30They are very fast animals.

01:01Rabbits are social animals.
01:03They often live in colonies and communicate with each other through sounds, body language,
01:10and scent.
01:11Interestingly, when they are frightened, they may thump the ground loudly to warn others
01:16of danger.
01:18They are also known for their high reproductive rate.
01:22Male rabbits can give birth several times a year, and each litter can contain between
01:28four to twelve babies.
01:30This allows rabbit populations to grow very quickly.
01:34Lastly, rabbits are most active during dawn and dusk, meaning they are crepuscular animals.
01:42This trait helps them avoid predators in their natural habitats.
