	Rabbit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Rabbit is a common name for some MAMMALS of the order LAGOMORPHA.
		The young (leverets), born in fur-lined nests, are naked, blind and helpless in contrast to the hairy, well-developed leverets of HARES.

	European Rabbit - Wikipedia Light!
		Colloquially, a rabbit may be referred to as a "coney" or a "bunny", though the former is archaic.
		Unlike the related hares (Lepus), rabbits are altricial, the young being born blind and furless, in a furlined nest in the warren, and totally dependent upon their mother.
		Domesticated rabbits have mostly been bred to be much larger than wild rabbits, though selective breeding has produced a wide range of breeds which are kept as pets and food animals across the world.

	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.
