Long ears are an advantage to a point. A wild rabbit or hare utilizes their ears not only for hearing, but also as a cooling mechanism.
Rabbits live all over Canada. They live in burrows, under bushes and in hollow logs. In winter they tunnel into the snow. Some kinds of rabbits live in groups and others live alone. The jackrabbit has very long legs and ears. It is really a hare. The long ears are very important because they help the rabbit hear and keep cool in the summer. The snowshoe hare has very big back feet to help them get through very deep sow. In the winter the snowshoe hare has a thick, white coat to keep it warm and to help camouflage it. In the summer its coat turns brown. Rabbits come out to look for food at night when it is safe. They are herbivores and eat plants.
Pikas are different from other lagomorphs such as rabbits and hares because they belong to their own genus called Ochotona, while rabbits and hares belong to the genera Lepus and Sylvilagus. Pikas have a more compact body, rounded ears, and no visible tail, whereas rabbits and hares have longer bodies, longer ears, and a distinctive tail. Pikas also have a high-pitched call, live in rocky mountain habitats, and do not burrow underground like rabbits.
Rabbits typically have long ears, large eyes, and a soft fur coat. They are known for their hopping gait and high agility, as well as their sensitivity to sound and smell. Rabbits are also social animals that display behaviors such as grooming, thumping their hind legs, and digging.
a burrowing, gregarious, plant-eating mammal with long ears, long hind legs, and a short tail.
If you look at the difference in the look of their ears, the netherland dwarfs have really short ears, kind of a squirrel face. Normal dwarfs can have long ears and are just a small size compared to a normal rabbit.
True
All rabbits have long ears...
They have brilliant hearing which warns them about dangers
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.
i do not no
Rabbits.
There are many rabbits with ears sticking up. My Netherland dwarf rabbit, which is the smallest rabbit, has upright ears. Also dutch rabbits and rex rabbits do, to name some. Hope this is of some help :)
The genes of animals it originates from.
15 inches long
No, a common misconception. Look up a picture of an "enlgish lop" sometime. Very very long ears (22 inch span). This breed in particular originated in Africa. The ears on any rabbit are to release heat. They are like a built in AC. With so much surface area, the heat given off allows long eared breeds to survive in hotter climates better. Dwarf rabbits, who's ears are the smallest, are that way to conserve heat. With less surface area the ears don't give off as much heat and allow the rabbit to survive better in colder climates.
yes.
no it is not a rabbit it is way to big and cammels can be ridden
