Rabbit has been farmed since the 17th Century.The main function is to give warning of predators, but they may be used for signalling, and temperature regulation. Rabbit ears probably have several functions. Rabbits have a complex social structure and, like dogs, they have a hierarchy. Their escape method is to run for their burrow, where they are usually safe. People are also known to shoot rabbits, because they eat crops. Their predators are foxes, wolves, coyotes, cougars, lynxes, cats, dogs, bears, raccoons, skunks, weasels, badgers, snakes, and birds of prey. Rabbit vision has a very wide field, including overhead scanning. If they sense danger, they freeze and watch. Since rabbits are prey animals, they are careful in open spaces.

The female can have up to 12-13 kits, very rarely litters as big as 18 and as small as one. Rabbits have a gestation period of around 31 days. A baby rabbit is called a kit, which is short for kitten. Rabbits are famous for hopping and eating carrots.Ī male rabbit is called a buck, and a female is called a doe. A group of rabbits living together in a burrow is called a warren. In the wild, rabbits live in burrows, that they dig themselves. They live in families and eat vegetables and hay. Rabbits can be found in many parts of the world. The order Lagomorpha is made of rabbits, pikas and hares. There are about fifty different species of rabbits and hares.
