The most important factor for a rabbit's hearing is the science behind the shape of their long ears. Rabbits move their ears back and forth to generate acoustics that in turn bounce sound waves off objects. Doing this allows rabbits to maneuver effectively in their environment by allowing them to acquire a strong instinct for where things are in their environment.
