Besides hearing the rabbits use their ears for cooling. They do not sweat or pant to cool themselves (if you see a rabbit panting it is because he is already overheated and suffering from heat prostration). Blood circulates thru the large veins in the rabbits ear, and it cools as it does in the air.
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 :)
yes.
Dessert rabbits, like all rabbits, have big ears to help regulate their body temperature. The large surface area of their ears allow them to dissipate heat more effectively, keeping them cool in hot environments like desserts. Additionally, their big ears also help them hear predators and other threats approaching from a distance.
Rabbits vary in color, size, length of ears, and length of body. Some rabbits are small and others are very large and can hop further distances.
Yes, lop ears affect a rabbit's ears compared to a radar-eared rabbit. Lop-eared rabbits are prone to deafness and hard of hearing due to the muffling of sound waves through their ears. Imagine covering your ears and hearing the world through them. Radar-eared rabbits can easily swivel their ears to capture the most sound without obstruction.
The plural form for rabbit ears is (one) rabbit's ears; or (two) rabbits' ears.
True
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.
Bunny ears serve many purposes. Bunny ears are used by the animal known as rabbits for hearing sounds. Humans use fake bunny ears for costume purposes.
It depends on its species and size. Tiny rabbits have tiny ears.
