∙ 14y agoWild rabbits are well adapted to survive in the wild. They can eat many types of plants, and they can run as fast or faster than many of the predators that eat rabbits (coyotes, foxes, and owls). Domesticated tame rabbits have been bred to be larger and fatter, so have lost some ability to survive, such as fast running.
