Rabbits and Hares

Snowshoe hares have a niche as herbivorous mammals that primarily inhabit boreal forests in North America. They play a role in the ecosystem by grazing on vegetation like grasses, herbs, and shrubs, which helps to control plant growth and cycle nutrients. Snowshoe hares are also an important food source for predators like lynx and owls in their ecosystem.

A "snow bunny" is a slang term that typically refers to a woman who is attracted to or enjoys spending time with men who are into winter sports, such as skiing or snowboarding. It can also refer to a person who is particularly fond of snowy winter weather.

Rabbits are not omnivores, they are herbivores. Their natural diet consists mainly of grasses, leafy greens, and hay. Their digestive system is specialized for breaking down plant material, not animal proteins.

You thinking of a Jackalope? As far as anyone knows, Jackalopes are just a myth. Antelope+Jack-Rabbit? Come on... silly! I've read somewhere that there's a virus that supposedly can cause horns or something similar on a rabbit...but I'm going to say that's probably just bull, too! So... I'm going to go with: nope.

Jack rabbits are not typically dangerous to humans. They are known for their speed and agility, but they are herbivores and generally avoid confrontations with people. However, in some rare cases, they may scratch or bite if they feel threatened or cornered.

Rabbits primarily inhabit grassland and shrubland biomes, as well as meadows and forest edges. They prefer areas with a good supply of food, shelter, and places to dig burrows for nesting and protection.

about a foot long and half a foot in height, unless there fat!
Pet rabbits range in size from tiny to huge, depending on the breed. Most rabbits fall in the 5 to 10 pound range but dwarf breeds, like the Netherland Dwarf, can be as small as 2 pounds; and giant breeds, like the Flemish Giant, can weigh 20 pounds or more. The current record holder for biggest rabbit is a Continental Giant weighing 50 pounds!

When air temperature exceeds their body temperature, jackrabbits living in hot arid lands will seek shade, burrow underground, or become more active in the early morning or late evening to avoid overheating. They may also use their large ears to dissipate excess heat through blood vessels close to the skin surface.

Yes, a rabbit's fur color is a multiallelic triat. However, the color is also influenced by environmental conditions, especially the cold.

Introducing natural predators of rabbits, such as coyotes or foxes, can help regulate their population and restore balance to the ecosystem. Additionally, planting diverse vegetation and creating habitat for other animals that prey on rabbits can help create a more balanced food web in the meadow. Implementing sustainable land management practices, like controlled hunting or fencing off certain areas, can also help manage the rabbit population in a more ecological way.

I've learned that pine shavings are not the best litter for any pet rabbit. The strong odor is hard on them and can cause them breathing problems. I switched all my bunnies to care fresh litter, and this has worked well for whatever breed of bunny I've had, including my netherland dwarf rabbit. Hope this has been helpful. Pat

Baby rabbits are usually called bunnies, kittens, or kits. The use of the word "simon" is probably urban legend.

Jackrabbits do eat a variety of grasses, including Indian grass. However, their diet is not limited to just Indian grass and they consume various plant species depending on availability and season. It is common for jackrabbits to feed on a wide range of grasses, plants, and even some fruits and vegetables.

herbivore. herbivores are animals that eat vegitation.
A rabbit is a omnivore because it eats both plants and animals.Like pet rabbits eat carrots or rabbit food.Also in the woods it can eat animal flesh.

The domestic rabbit:

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Mammalia

Order: Lagomorpha

Family: Leporidae

Genus: Oryctolagus

Species: Cuniculus (Orycytolagus cuniculus, or European rabbit)

The Netherland Dwarf is just a breed of domestic rabbit and therefore does not have its own scientific binomial name.

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.

Jackrabbits typically make their shelter in burrows underground, which they dig themselves or use abandoned burrows of other animals. These burrows provide protection from predators and extreme weather conditions. They line their burrows with grass and fur to make them more comfortable.

There is no specific color, they can range in almost any color. From black to white, to orange-y to broken.The Netherland Dwarf rabbit is shown in 4 class in shows. They are divided in to 5 varieties: self (any solid color such as black or ruby eyed white), agouti (such as chinchilla or squirrel), shaded (such as siamese), otter (such as tan), and AOV (any other variety which includes tortiouse shell.) Netherland Dwarf Rabbits come in well over 30 varieties including broken which is spotted to the layman.

Honey bees do not hibernate. However, they will be confined to the hive in cold weather because they cannot fly if the air temperature is below about 17C (54F). They will cluster together and vibrate their flight muscles to generate heat, keeping the centre of the cluster up to about 98F (37C). This takes energy, and is why the bees store honey: so they can feed when they can't fly out.

Other bees, such as bumblebees, may hibernate through the colder parts of winter, but the length of time will depend very much on the temperature. because of global warming many bees are dyin because they come out of the hive around Christmas time cause the winters are milder

A rabbit is considered a heterotroph because it consumes other organisms, such as plants, to obtain the energy it needs for survival. By ingesting these organisms, the rabbit is able to break down and utilize the nutrients within them to fuel its own metabolic processes.

i would say personally netherland dwarf- if your looking for an easy rabbit to tame then choose dwarf lop because it is a lot of hard work to tame a netherland dwarf . Netherland dwarfs though are very pretty more pretty then dwarf lops. Netherland dwarfs are able to look after themselves and make sure that they dont get flystrike. Netherland dwarfs are very shy and a bit aggressive.

I dont know much about dwarfs lops though sorry but i would suggest you look at a RSPB rabbit book.

Yes, jackrabbits can eat cactus as part of their diet. They have the ability to consume a variety of plant material, including cactus pads and fruits, to obtain the necessary nutrients and water. However, they may avoid cacti with sharp spines to prevent injury.

A rabbit is a herbivore, meaning it primarily eats plants such as grasses, vegetables, and hay. Their diet consists mainly of fiber-rich foods to support their digestive system.

Rabbits are endangered due to habitat loss, predation by introduced species, disease, and hunting. Additionally, climate change and changes in land use can also pose threats to rabbit populations. Conservation efforts are important to help protect rabbits and their habitats.

Many omnivores eat rabbits. These include bears, wolves, foxes, raccoons, mink, and rats. Other rabbit eaters include snakes, hawks, and eagles.
