A Bunch of Bunny Facts
—Britton Mercadante

Cute. Adorable. Fluffy. These are the words that hop into our minds when we think of rabbits. But how much do you really know about them? Read on to learn some interesting facts about these furry animals.

In the wild, rabbits face many dangers, but they have a few tricks up their sleeves to stay alive. They can run faster than humans to escape from larger animals, and their powerful hind legs make them very agile. They also have a great sense of hearing and can hear sounds from two miles away. They even sleep with their eyes open so that they can wake up and be ready to run away quickly!

Speaking of their eyes, rabbits have another special ability: they can see in front, behind, to the side, or even high above without turning their head. While humans have about a 210-degree field of view, rabbits have almost a 360-degree field of view because of the position of their eyes on their head. Rabbits use this ability to prevent other animals from creeping up on them.

兔子趣聞大集合
可愛、討人喜歡、柔軟蓬鬆的。這些是我們想到兔子時腦海裡會冒出的詞彙。但你真的對牠們了解多少呢？繼續讀下去來了解一些關於這些毛茸茸動物有趣的事實。
在自然環境中，兔子面臨許多危險，但牠們有維持生存的錦囊妙計。牠們能跑得比人類還快來躲避較大的動物，而牠們強有力的後腿讓牠們動作十分矯捷。牠們也有絕佳的聽力，能聽到兩英里外的聲音。牠們甚至會張著眼睛睡覺以便可以迅速醒來準備好逃走！
說到牠們的眼睛，兔子有另一項特殊能力：牠們不必轉頭就可以看到前面、後面、側邊或甚至頭上高處的東西。人類的視野約兩百一十度，而兔子則有將近三百六十度的視野，因為牠們眼睛的位置在頭頂上。兔子用這種能力來避免其他動物偷偷接近牠們。
