Just in time for Easter! Check out these twelve fun facts about bunnies:

 

  1. The rabbit with the longest ears was an English Lop named Nipper’s Geronimo. His ears measured 31 inches long.
  2. Males are called bucks, females are called does, and babies are called kits.
  3. Pet rabbits can live from seven to 10 years or even into their teens.
  4. The European rabbit is the most social rabbit, sometimes forming extensive burrow systems of up to 20 individuals.
  5. In 1997, a rabbit named Mimrelunds Tosen broke the world record for highest jump by a rabbit. The rabbit itself jumped 39.2 inches.
  6. A rabbits teeth never stop growing, but the normal grinding of the upper teeth against the lower teeth keeps them short.
  7. The Pygmy rabbit is the smallest rabbit in North America, measuring only 11 inches in length.
  8. Out of 365 days, no species of rabbit is known to hibernate. Rabbits are active throughout a single year in reality.
  9. With clicker training, you can teach a rabbit to weave through poles and nudge a ball with his nose.
  10. Despite their name, jackrabbits are not actually rabbits, they’re hares.
  11. Rabbits are famous for their fertility, and can produce litters of four to eight offspring several times a year.
  12. Actually, a rabbit has three eyelids! The third eyelid, called the nictitating membrane, keeps the eye clean so rabbits are more aware of approaching predators.

Student at Broward College for the past five years, first enrolled on Davie's Central Campus learning Physical Therapy for two years than, transferring to Coconut Creeks North campus for the last three years, now majoring in Early Childhood / Developmental Education. Spent first year with Her campus Broward as Outreach Director, former president of self-entitled campus friendship club, Sammy's Buddy Brigade, member of the Campus Science Club, and a Broward County local student Ambassador with Best Buddies International. Winner of the Sammy's award for most charity work within the community, and now Vice President of Her Campus Broward. I hope to soon be working at Junior Achievement with the elementary and middle school children, in order to have a well rounded experience! The hope is to one day work with and teach children who have special needs such as myself! Biggest belief and philosophy of life is that, no matter what anyone says you can't accomplish in life, I am living proof that anything is possible! Having ADHD, high functioning Autism, and medical conditions such as Scoliosis, helps me to understand special needs children on a level that very few people can! It is this very knowledge that led me to choose Teaching as my chosen profession. Now at age 42, and more than 55% on the way to getting an Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education, I hope to become an Assistant Teacher within the next year or so. We hope that this true life story will inspire others to never give up either, no matter what anybody says, or tells you, that you can't do, the only one who can truly hold you back is "YOU".
