Is a rabbit's sense of hearing good?

Answer 1

By using their eyes, which function very much the way your own eyes do.

Answer: Rabbits have two eyes, one on either side of their head. They have almost a 360 degree view of the world, they can not see directly in front of them, directly behind, above or below. It is a very limited area that they can not see.

Their sight is also fairly grainy, they learn by shape and movement.

In order to get a better view of something they will bob their head up and down as well as turn. if you see one eye straight on, then they are staring right at you.

Answer 2

Yes, in fact, they can't stand loud or EXTREMELY loud noises. Rabbits can die of fright from loud sounds. Actually, when we say, "You scared me to death," we don't mean it (we can't talk if we're dead, right?). But in a rabbit's case of loud noises, this might be the conversation between two bunnies, "Poor Fluffy. She was scared to death."

Answer 3

Hearing

Hearing is a rabbit's most vital sense, hence the large upright ears. The auditory system is used to detect predators, as well as to help a rabbit perceive the area around him. Acoustics help to overcome the reduced visual abilities by allowing the rabbit to navigate without difficulty. Sound waves bounce off objects, allowing the rabbit to recognize the arrangement of his surroundings.

Most rabbits have large, erect ears. When alert, the ears move forward and backward as they attempt to pinpoint the danger. When the rabbit is relaxed, the ears lie along his back, but they are quite responsive to noise. The slightest sound can be detected from very far away. A rabbit's sense of sound is vastly developed, far more finely tuned than his vision.

Lop-eared rabbits also have good hearing but do not do as well in the wild as rabbits with erect ears.

Answer 4

Yes, they have excellent far sight day or night. They have trouble seeing things close to them.

Answer 5

Well, with those massive ears it is fantastic.

Answer 6

No, healthy rabbits can see.
