Happy Easter folks!!

Hope everybody has a wonderful day!! And just for a little fun, here are some fun bunny facts to mark the occasion (all true despite the other holiday today!).

·        Rabbits and hares are “lagomorphs”, an order that also includes the pika, a small burrowing mammal that looks like a large mouse and lives in colder climates.

·        Jackrabbits, which belong to the genus “Lepus,” have been clocked at speeds of 45 miles per hour.

·        Stories abound about the prolific reproductive nature of rabbits and so it is not surprising that the rabbit should have become a symbol of fertility in many cultures and religions.  As the Christian influence spread, this symbol became associated with Easter.

·        Happy rabbits practice a cute behavior known as a “binky:” they jump up in the air and twist and spin around!

·        A baby rabbit is called a kit, a female is called a doe, and a male is a buck.  A group of rabbits is called a herd.

·        A rabbit’s teeth never stop growing!  Many people believe they need to chew to keep their teeth short.  While they do enjoy chewing, it’s the normal wear from where their top and bottom teeth meet that keeps a rabbit’s teeth short.

·        Can you guess what other domestic animal is similar to rabbits?  A horse!  They have similar eyes, teeth, and ears (those belonging to many prey animals), as well as a similar diet and behavior.  Clearly, their size is much different…

·        Bunnies cannot vomit, so it is super important to feed them only healthy, fresh, appropriate food.

·        Rabbits are not the same species as hares, which, among other things, are larger and less social.

·        Like cats, rabbits can be trained to use a litter box.

·        Rabbits eat their poop. Icky, yes, but they have to do it. They need to digest some of their food twice, so they eat their soft “cecotropes” (nutrient-packed droppings). What’s commonly known as “rabbit pellets” are what comes out after their second round of digestion.

·        Just like TV antennas used to be called “rabbit ears,” real rabbit ears do serve as a kind of antenna. They can pick up sounds from every direction and are capable of hearing from two directions at the same time.

·        In the wild, rabbits live in burrows called warrens. One warren in Europe had 450 rabbits and 2000 entrances, according to the RSPCA.

·        A rabbit symbol is often used to show that a product was not tested on animals.  This is because rabbits have traditionally been used in product safety testing.
