General Information

Rabbits are very sociable animals, preferring to live in pairs or small groups. Being a natural prey species, they are most active at dawn and at dusk. They have several anatomical features enhancing their ability to avoid predators:

• Large, mobile ears for excellent hearing
• Good panoramic vision provided by eyes that are located on the sides of their head
• Muscular hind legs that allow them to achieve high speeds for short periods.
