The European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is a small mammal native to Europe and parts of North Africa. It has a compact body, long ears, and a short fluffy tail. Typically, they have a grayish-brown fur that helps them blend into their natural habitat, which includes grasslands, forests, and meadows. These rabbits are social animals that live in large groups called colonies. They are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, herbs, and vegetables. Known for their burrowing behavior, they create extensive tunnel systems called warrens, which provide shelter and protection from predators.
