Fun Facts
- A rabbits teeth never stop growing. Instead, they're gradually worn down as the rabbit chews on grasses, wildflowers and vegetables - meaning they never get too long.
- A rabbit's best feature? Their long ears! Growing up to 10 cm in length, rabbits can turn their ears by 180 degrees, keeping a careful listen out for predators.
- Rabbits perform an athletic leap, known as a 'binky', when they're happy, performing twists and kicks in mid air.
