Chapter 1

Meet the rabbit!

Hi there!
Let’s hop into the wonderful world of rabbits! 🐰

Rabbits are soft, sweet, and full of personality. They’re mammals, just like us — and they can make wonderful furry friends for kids. Let’s learn more about what makes them special.

What is a rabbit?

Rabbits are small animals with:

  • Long ears (sometimes longer than their heads!)

  • Big back feet for hopping

  • A fluffy tail like a cotton ball

  • Sharp teeth that never stop growing!

They belong to a group of animals called lagomorphs (lah-go-morfs). That’s a funny word, isn’t it? 🐾

🌍 Where Do Rabbits Come From?

Wild rabbits live all around the world — in meadows, forests, deserts, and even snowy mountains! But the rabbits we keep as pets are domestic rabbits. That means they were raised by humans to be gentle, friendly, and happy living in homes.
