Like all mammals, it evolved from a shrew. Rabbits havn't gone through nearly as much change as other mammals, but it developed larger ears for better hearing, which is why it can easily sense the vibrations of a predatorsneaking up on it. Big powerful legs and feet enable it to have an enourmous stride, making it able to flee easily, and are also used for communication with others by thumping the ground. It had no need for a long tail, and it lost that for a warm furry small one with less surface area, which helps it stay warmer. Artic hares have adapted a great form of camoflage by turning white in the winter, and brown in the summer.How was the wild rabbit evolved over time ?
