NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A white rabbit’s biggest predators are reptiles like snakes. However, snakes become less active during winters. Hence it can be said that the white rabbits are well protected from their predators during the winter season.

Detailed explanation-2: -A rabbit’s main defense is their ability to run away and hide as quickly as possible. However, cornered rabbits are also able to use their claws, teeth, and strong hind legs to attempt to fight off predators and defend themselves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ultimately, rabbits are resilient and adaptable. The main adaptations that explain the rabbit’s adaptive success are its nutrition (wide adaptation to food and good nutritional use of caecotrophy), immune system (powerful and developed), and other aspects related to genetics and behaviour.

Detailed explanation-4: -Large hind feet provide rabbits with a very powerful kick, which they can use as a defense mechanism, or to power large jumps when escaping predators. Rabbits will “thump” with their back feet to communicate to other rabbits when danger is present.
