Rabbits are small, furry mammals belonging to the family Leporidae. They are known for their long ears, short fluffy tails, and strong hind legs. Common species include the European rabbit and the American cottontail. Rabbits are herbivores, primarily eating grass, vegetables, and fruits. These animals are social creatures, often living in groups called colonies. They are known for their rapid reproduction, with a single female capable of having multiple litters each year. Rabbits are also popular pets and are often kept in homes and gardens, where they require proper care and a safe environment.
