Rabbit introduction

Rabbits have long tubular ears (ear length is several times longer than ear width), a short tufted tail, and strong hind legs that are much longer than the forelimbs. There are 43 species in 9 genera. There are the most varieties in eastern Asia, southern Asia, Africa and North America, and a small number of varieties are distributed in Europe and South America. Some of them are widely distributed or have been introduced into many areas, while some are very restricted. Terrestrial, common in deserts, desolate grasslands, tropical sparse forests, grasslands and forests or woods.

Body shape

In terms of body size, they can be divided into giant rabbits, medium-sized rabbits and small rabbits. The body weight of giant rabbits is about 5 to 8 kilograms (there are also a few that exceed 8 kilograms), and the weight of medium-sized rabbits is about 2 to 4 kilograms. , the body weight of a small rabbit should be less than 2 kilograms. Generally speaking, the body of a rabbit can be divided into four parts: head and neck, trunk, hands, feet and tail. Body surface: coat, which has thermal insulation effect. Coat color: Mostly white, black, gray, off-white, gray-brown, yellow-gray, light khaki, and some with flowers. Rabbit's teeth: incisors: suitable for cutting food. Molars: Used for grinding food. The rabbit's tail is short and fluffy, and it will ball up like a ball, which is very cute. How to clear it: Jump. The rabbit's forelimbs are shorter than its hind limbs, which is good for jumping.

Head

Rabbit’s head is long and can be divided into the body area (from the eyes) and brain, head and neck area (from the eyes). The decent area occupies approximately 2/3 of the total length of the head.

Mouth

Rabbits have short mouths with upper and lower lips. The upper lip has a longitudinal cleft (also known as a gaping mouth), the incisors are exposed, and there are tentacles around the mouth. The center of the upper lip is cracked, forming a typical three-petal mouth, which is very cute. In addition to the two front teeth that extend outward, the rabbit has 28 teeth.

Nose

The nostrils of rabbits are large and oval, with the inner edge running through the longitudinal fissure of the upper lip.

Eye

The rabbit’s eyeballs are round and the viewing angle of one eye is 180°, so the rabbit uses one eye to see objects. Rabbits have different breeds, different coat colors, and different eye colors. Rabbit eyes include: red, blue, black, gray and other colors, and some rabbits have different colors of their eyes. Because rabbits are nocturnal, their eyes can focus a lot of light and they can see things even in dim places. In addition, because the rabbit's eyes are on both sides of the face, it has a wide field of vision and can see the objects around it very clearly. Some people say that the rabbit can even see its own spine. However, it cannot distinguish three-dimensional objects, and it cannot understand nearby and temporary objects.

The color of rabbit eyes is related to their appearance. The eyes of black rabbits are black under the light, the eyes of gray rabbits are gray, and the eyes of white rabbits are red. So why do you see the eyes of the little white rabbit are red? This is because the blood filaments (capillaries) in the eyes of the white rabbit directly reflect the external light, and the transparent eyes appear red. Rabbits have various colors, and their eyes also have different colors. That's because they have something called pigment in their bodies. The color of rabbit eyes is related to the color of their appearance.

Ears

The ears of rabbits are long and large, and can even exceed the length of 10 years. There are also some rabbit varieties with smaller and drooping ears. The shape, length and thickness of rabbit ears can also reflect the characteristics of the breed. For example, the ears of native Chinese rabbits are short, thick, upright, and large.
