Answer 2

Horses are prey animals, so they show most of the same features as a rabbit. They have eyes at the sides of their head so that they can see all around them to look out for predators. Their ears swivel so that they can listen for predators. They are also built for speed so that they can escape being caught by an animal that wants to eat them.

Horses also tend to act like giant rabbits. If they see or hear something that they think could potentially be dangerous, they try to run away. If they can't do that, they will fight to survive.
