Like deer, a female rabbit is called a “doe” and a male rabbit is called a “buck.”

When a rabbit is feeling submissive he will make himself appear as small as possible by crouching down.  

To express happiness, rabbits will sometimes jump around and flick their heads and feet.

Rabbits are small mammals belonging to the family Leporidae and are found in various habitats worldwide, from forests and grasslands to deserts and urban areas.

There are over 50 species of rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and the cottontail rabbit (genus Sylvilagus), which are native to North America.

Rabbits have distinctive long ears, powerful hind legs, and a short fluffy tail, and their fur coloration can vary widely depending on the species and habitat.

They are herbivores, feeding primarily on grasses, herbs, leaves, bark, and twigs, although some species may also consume fruits, vegetables, and agricultural crops.

Rabbits are known for their rapid reproductive rate, with females capable of producing several litters of offspring each year, typically with multiple kittens per litter.

They are crepuscular animals, meaning they are most active during the dawn and dusk hours, although some species may also be active during the night or day.

Rabbits are social animals, often living in colonies or groups known as warrens, with complex social structures and communication systems.

They communicate using a variety of vocalizations, body language, and scent marking, which help them coordinate social interactions and avoid predators.

Rabbits are agile runners and skilled jumpers, able to evade predators with their speed and agility, and their powerful hind legs allow them to leap several feet in the air.

Despite their small size, rabbits play important ecological roles as prey for predators such as birds of prey, foxes, and carnivorous mammals, and as seed dispersers.

Rabbits have been domesticated for thousands of years and are kept as pets for companionship, show, and breeding purposes, with various breeds bred for different traits and appearances.

While rabbits are often considered pests in agricultural and urban areas due to their tendency to consume and damage crops and gardens, they also have ecological significance and contribute to ecosystem dynamics.
