Rabbit
It is often heard that if the rabbits raised at home are released into nature, the rabbits can enjoy their due freedom in nature, which is called "release". However, do bunnies really want this freedom?
In fact, rabbits can be divided into Oryx and Hare, although they belong to the same family but are different genus.Oryx rabbits are common domestic pet rabbits, and their survivability in the wild is very poor.
The well-known Okuno Island in Japan is inhabited by wild rabbits. Even if they live on an independent island without natural enemies, their lifespan is still short.
(You can watch the video "The Dark, Twisted Truth About Rabbit Island Japan" uploaded by blogger Lennon The Bunny on YouTube) .So, the so-called "release" of domestic rabbits to let them live "free" in the wild is actually Let them die quickly.
Rabbits live alone except during the breeding season. If you have a hare, you think it's lonely and you want to find a company, then two hare will fight badly together. And if a lot of rabbits are raised, they can live together after a period of running-in.
Domestic rabbits are domesticated from the cave rabbit. They live underground and need to dig burrows. Therefore, their bodies are relatively small and their limbs are relatively short, making them suitable for burrowing.
Hares don't need to burrow, they live in grasses and small forests. In order to run in the wild, their bodies and limbs and ears are much larger than domestic rabbits.
Hare is a completely nocturnal animal, active at night. Rabbits are not completely nocturnal animals. Rabbits are most active in the morning and early morning, and they are also very active at dusk, followed by late night, which belongs to morning and evening type animals.
The life expectancy of a domestic rabbit pet rabbit is usually said to be 6-10 years, but some rabbits can live up to 18 years or more. The longest recorded pet rabbit lifespan so far is 21.
Wild rabbits typically live no more than a year, although wild rabbits from Australia have also been recorded to live up to six years.
