	Rabbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rabbits are clearly distinguished from hares in that rabbits are altricial, having young that are born blind and hairless; all rabbits, except the cottontail rabbit, live underground in burrows or warrens.
		Rabbits can then be killed by hitting the back of their heads, a practice that lends its name to the "rabbit punch".
		Rabbits are often used as a symbol of fertility or rebirth.

	European Rabbit
		Rabbits can reproduce all through the year, with each litter usually made up of five to six baby rabbits; however, as many as eight or as few as two bunnies can be in a litter.
		European rabbits are social, outgoing animals that live in groups of six to 10 rabbits in large burrows (also known as warrens) made up of a variety of tunnels and chambers.
		European rabbits, on the other hand, are extremely susceptible to the virus and the Australian population was reduced by up to 99 percent.

	Rabbit
		Rabbits have excellent eyesight, hearing and smell. The position of the eyes allows rabbits to see on both sides, thereby increasing their ability to spot danger from more angles. Known as monocular vision, most prey animals have this visual arrangement, as opposed to predator species, which have binocular vision.
		Rabbits are famous for their prodigious ability to reproduce. With a gestation period of only 26-30 days, female rabbits may produce up to 6 litters in one year, and litter size averages between 4–5 kits.
		Rabbits have many natural enemies and face various dangers that keep their populations down. The rabbit’s predators include crows, weasels, opossums, hawks and owls, foxes, and snakes. In fact, up to 40% of a horned owl’s diet may consist of rabbits. Other substantial threats include loss of habitat, farming practices, diseases, cars, roaming cats and dogs, and hunters.

		Rabbits are important as food because of their ability to utilize foodstuffs that humans are unable to use.
		Rabbits are capable of inflicting injury (scratches and small gashes) to the handler with their claws, particularly the rear claws, as rabbits have powerful rear limbs.
		To carry a rabbit, it is useful to support the animal’s body between the forearm and abdomen of the handler, with the rabbit’s face "hidden" under the handler’s elbow.

		Rabbits and hares have large front teeth, short tails, and large hind legs and feet adapted for running or jumping.
		Although usage varies, the term rabbit generally refers to small, running animals, with relatively short ears and legs, which give birth to blind, naked young, while hare refers to larger, hopping forms, with longer ears and legs, whose young are born furred and open-eyed.
		Domestic rabbits, which may be various colors but are commonly white, are bred for food and for their fur, which is much used in making fur trim and felt.

	European wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) - fact sheet
		Feral rabbit control is complicated because of welfare and harvesting issues, and because both native and introduced predators feed on feral rabbits in many parts of Australia.
		Rabbits can strip off bark or even climb trees and shrubs to reach succulent leaves and twigs, especially in areas where no water is readily available.
		Feral rabbit control programs also need to be coordinated with other activities that may be taking place, including the on-ground protection of threatened plants and animals and control of other invasive species such as feral cats and foxes.

	European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
		The rate of spread of the rabbit in Australia was the fastest of any colonising mammal anywhere in the world and was aided by the presence of burrows of native species and modifications to the natural environment made for farming.
		The reduction of rabbits to low numbers has mostly been due to a combination of myxomatosis, rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus, introduction of the European rabbit flea, and changes to the environment.
		On average, present rabbit densities in Australia may be about 5% of pre-myxomatosis densities in the higher rainfall areas and perhaps 25% in the rangelands, however populations tend to fluctuate greatly due to changing conditions and drought.

	European Rabbit
		The rabbit is normally seen grazing on short turf within easy bolting distance of its burrow, where it hides from predators and shelters from the heat or cold.
		Despite its origins in generally warm climates, the rabbit can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, and is able to live comfortably even in the colder parts of northern Europe, where it was introduced by the Romans as a source of food some 2000 years ago.
		The rabbit's primary feeding tools are its long, broad incisor teeth, which are adapted to nibbling and shearing low-growing grasses as well as gnawing and browsing other tough vegetation.
