RABBIT
Rabbits are small mammals with fluffy, shorttails, whiskers and distinctive long ears. While many
people think rabbits are about the size of a cat, some rabbit species.
can grow to be as big as a small child. They eat vegetabels like carrots and lettuce.
Small rabbit species
can be as little as 8 inches(20 centimeters) in length and weigh less than
a pound. Larger rabbits grow to 20 inches (50 cm) and more than 4
pounds(1.8 kilograms). The world's largest rabbit clocked in at 4
feet 3 inches (129.54 cm)
and 49 pounds (22 kg).

While originally from Europe and Africa, rabbits now call
many places home. Wild rabbits can be found in woods, forests, meadows,
grasslands, deserts, tundra and wetlands.
