The wild rabbit, commonly known as the European rabbit or cottontail, is a small mammal found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and deserts. They are known for their long ears, short fluffy tails, and strong hind legs, which help them escape predators. Wild rabbits primarily feed on grasses, herbs, and vegetables, making them herbivores. Wild rabbits are social animals that often live in groups called colonies. They create burrows, known as warrens, for shelter and protection. These animals are most active during dawn and dusk, a behavior known as crepuscular activity, which helps them avoid daytime predators like foxes and hawks.
