RABBIT

RABBIT

Hello, guys. Welcome back to my blog.

Yeah, as you see from the title, I will show you a few information about rabbit. So, just stay tune on my blog, hehe.

First, what is rabbit?

Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cottontail rabbits (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, an endangered species on Amami Ōshima, Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with pikas and hares, make up the order Lagomorpha. The male is called a buck and the female is a doe; a young rabbit is a kitten or kit.

Second, how about the classification of rabbit?

COMMON NAME    :               Old World rabbit, domestic rabbit, rabbit

KINGDOM                :               Animalia

PHYLUM                  :               Chordata

CLASS                       :               Mammalia

ORDO                        :               Lagomorpha

FAMILY                     :               Leporidae

GENUS SPECIES     :               Oryctolagus (digging hare) cuniculus (rabbit, or underground passage)

Third, how about the life cycles of rabbit?

A baby rabbit is called a kit. A female is called a doe and male is called a buck. Rabbits can live up to ten years and produce up to 12 babies a month. The babies stay inside the womb for about a month and at 4-12 weeks old they are weaned from their mother. At 3-4 months old, the rabbit is ready to mate and have babies of its own. At 5 months old the rabbit is fully grown.

Forth, what's the uniqueness about rabbit?

1.  Rabbits are the third-most abandoned animals in shelters.
2. They’re all about territory. 
3. Bunnies are nocturnal, right? Nope. Crepuscular. Yeah, crepuscular animals are those who active from dusk til' dawn.
4. Rabbits need special vets. So, if you take rabbit as your pet, you must be sure in your city there is rabbit's vet.
5. Rabbit and hare are different species. The biggest difference between a rabbit and a hare is that the young of a hare are born open-eyed and furred. The rabbit's young are born naked and with closed eyes. Hare are able to leave the nest soon after they are born, but rabbits don't open their eyes for 7-10 days.
6. These rabbits live in groups called colonies, in large, complex burrow systems. A typical colony consists of 6 to 10 adults. Colonies have dominance hierarchies, which are important for males, because it determines which one will have first choice of a mate.
7.  Every rabbit has a unique personality. So, you must know all about your rabbit.
8. They’re prey animals. 

      Fifth, this is the fast facts about rabbit. 

            A. DESCRIPTION

            F. HABITAT

      Dry areas near sea level with soft, sandy soil for easy burrowing; fields for cover, but also forests; cultivated   land was once well-suited, but this is no longer the  case because plowing destroys rabbit burrows.

      Okay, that's all about my material. So, do you want it? Hehe. And now, it's time to Questions Session.
