Rabbits turn their ears to collect sound.
because they can ear better
To pick up all the sounds to see if there is any danger.
Rabbits constantly rotate their "sound collecting" ears to effectively listen for potential threats or predators in their environment. This allows them to pinpoint the direction of sounds and respond quickly to any danger. Their ears are very sensitive and can pick up even faint sounds, helping them stay alert and safe.
For the same reason you turn around when talking on a cell phone and the signal get broken. By changing the direction of the receiver you get a better signal.
no they do not. hares are slightly bigger and flatten their ears while running to maintain speed while rabbits keep their ears up
Rabbits are lagomorphs which means they have large back feet, gnawing teeth, and large ears. Since they have large ears, they can hear all the sounds around them. Whenever a rabbit hears a sound, his or her ears turn in that direction. It's their instinct. When all rabbits were wild, they depended on their sound catching ears! So coyotes or another predator could be detected before the coyote has some fast food!
Newborn rabbits' ears usually open when they are about 1-3 weeks old. When you are breeding rabbits, always keep your voice low so the kits won't be startled when they hear for the first time.
The plural form for rabbit ears is (one) rabbit's ears; or (two) rabbits' ears.
True
It's not true that rabbits with long ears have a longer lifespan than rabbits with short ears. Ear length has no bearing on a rabbit's lifespan.
It depends on its species and size. Tiny rabbits have tiny ears.
