Q 01To which mammalian order do rabbits belong, sharing it with pikas and hares?
Lagomorpha
Rabbits, hares, and pikas are all classified under the order Lagomorpha. They were once grouped with rodents but were reclassified due to distinct anatomical differences, such as having two sets of upper incisors.
Q 02Which high-fibre food is essential to every rabbit's diet and a major component of commercial pellets?
Hay
Hay and grass should make up most of a pet rabbit's diet, while carrots, despite the cartoons, are high in sugar and best kept as an occasional treat.
Q 03What gives a rabbit its nearly 360-degree field of vision?
Eyes placed on the sides of the skull
Eyes placed on the sides of the skull leave one small blind spot right in front of the nose, so a rabbit can struggle to see food sitting just under its mouth.
Q 04Which body part primarily assists a rabbit in regulating its body temperature?
Ears
Rabbits have few to no sweat glands, so they shed heat by changing blood flow through the ears, which are longer in warm climates.
Q 05What is a network of rabbit burrows called?
A warren
A warren first meant an enclosure where a landowner kept game such as rabbits for breeding, and only later the animals' own maze of tunnels.
Q 06What happened to Peter Rabbit's father in Mr. McGregor's garden?
Put in a pie
He was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor, which is why Mrs. Rabbit forbids the garden; Peter sneaks in anyway and only just gets out.
Q 07Why do rabbits skip the long pre-surgery fast?
They cannot vomit
They cannot vomit: a rabbit can't bring food back up under anaesthetic, so the long fast is skipped, and for the same reason a build-up from a low-fibre diet can block its gut.
Q 08A healthy rabbit's normal body temperature would count as what in a human?
A fever
A fever: a healthy rabbit runs at about 39.5°C (103°F), so a reading of 37°C, normal for a person, would be a warning sign of illness in a rabbit.
Q 09Which tiny breed, first produced in the early 1900s, tops out at just 2.5 lb (1.1 kg)?
Netherland Dwarf
Netherland Dwarf: its short, rounded head gives it a baby face, and it is often confused with the Polish, a small breed that is not a true dwarf at all.
Q 10How do rabbits differ from most rodents in the way their teeth grow?
Every one keeps growing
Every one keeps growing: a rabbit's incisors and cheek teeth are all open-rooted and grow throughout life, worn down by chewing fibrous grass, whereas in most rodents only the incisors are ever-growing.
Q 11What covers the soles of a rabbit's feet?
Coarse fur
Coarse fur: rabbits have no paw pads at all, so heavy rabbits kept on wire floors can develop sore hocks.
Q 12When a rabbit performs a sudden, joyful leap and twist in the air, what is this behavior commonly called?
Binkying
Binkying: a binky is the leap-and-twist a contented rabbit performs, often mid-run; thumping the hind legs is the opposite signal, showing alarm or annoyance.
Q 13Which term describes a rabbit rubbing the scent gland under the jaw on objects and people?
Chinning
Chinning in wild European rabbits signals readiness to mate as well as marking territory, using an odoriferous secretion from a chin gland.
Q 21Which disease was deliberately released in the 1950s to cut wild rabbit numbers in Australia and France?
Myxomatosis
Myxomatosis: in 1952 a French doctor infected two wild rabbits just to clear his own estate, and the virus escaped to sweep through rabbits across western Europe.
Q 22What is the largest breed of domestic rabbit?
Flemish Giant
Flemish Giant: bred in Flanders, perhaps as early as the 16th century, it can top 20 lb (9 kg), yet its docile nature has earned it the nickname 'Gentle Giant'.
Q 23The Angora rabbit, bred for its long wool, is said to have originated in which country?
Turkey
Turkey: the breed is named for Ankara, which was known as Angora until 1930, the city that also gave its name to the Angora goat and the Angora cat.
Q 14How do newborn rabbits differ from newborn hares?
They are born blind and helpless
They are born blind and helpless: rabbit kits are altricial, naked and blind in a fur-lined burrow nest, whereas leverets arrive furred, open-eyed and able to move within hours.
Q 15The Easter Bunny began as an egg-bringing hare in the folklore of which religious group?
German Lutherans
German Lutherans: German immigrants are said to have carried the 'Osterhase' to Pennsylvania in the 1700s, where children made nests for it to fill with coloured eggs.
Q 16Which foe does Bugs Bunny outwit in his 1940 breakthrough short, A Wild Hare?
Elmer Fudd
Elmer Fudd: the short also gave Bugs his first 'What's up, Doc?', a line director Tex Avery said was everyday slang back home in Texas.
Q 17Bugs Bunny's accent is most often identified with which New York borough?
Brooklyn
Brooklyn: Mel Blanc called the voice a mix of Brooklyn and Bronx accents, though director Tex Avery said he had asked for the sound of actor Frank McHugh.
Q 18The real hill of Watership Down, the rabbits' goal in Richard Adams's novel, lies in which English county?
Hampshire
Hampshire: the manuscript was turned down by every major publisher before the one-man firm of Rex Collings took it, and it went on to win the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian prize.
Q 19In 1903 Peter Rabbit became the first fictional character to be made into what?
A patented stuffed toy
A patented stuffed toy: Beatrix Potter made the Peter Rabbit doll herself and registered it in 1903, then followed it with a board game, making Peter the oldest licensed character.
Q 20Why did Thomas Austin release the rabbits that overran Australia?
For sport shooting
For sport shooting: Austin, a keen hunter back in England, had rabbits shipped out to his estate in Victoria, and their descendants spread across the continent.
Q 24In Chinese folklore the Moon rabbit Yutu is the companion of which Moon goddess?
Chang'e
Chang'e: the Moon goddess lives on the Moon with the Jade Rabbit (Yutu), who pounds the elixir of life with mortar and pestle; in Japan and Korea the rabbit pounds rice cakes instead.
Q 25Until the 18th century an adult rabbit was a 'coney'; the word 'rabbit' originally meant only what?
The young animals
The young animals: rabbits were not native to northern Europe, so English had no word of its own and borrowed 'coney' for the adult and, later, 'rabbit' for its young.
Q 26A 1202 puzzle about how fast a pair of rabbits could breed produced which famous series of numbers?
The Fibonacci sequence
The Fibonacci sequence: Leonardo of Pisa asked how many pairs one pair would become in a year if rabbits never died, and each month's total proved to be the sum of the two before it.
Q 27What are the soft, nutrient-rich droppings that rabbits produce and then re-eat called?
Cecotropes
Cecotropes: these soft, nutrient-rich pellets form in the cecum and are re-ingested directly, usually while the rabbit rests underground, so their vitamins and protein can be absorbed in the small intestine.
Q 28The Aztecs' Centzon Tōtōchtin, the 'Four Hundred Rabbits', were gods of what?
Drunkenness
Drunkenness: the Four Hundred Rabbits were the children of Mayahuel, goddess of the maguey plant, and stood for the many effects of pulque, the drink fermented from its sap.
Q 29At the Mad Tea-Party in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, who sits asleep between the March Hare and the Hatter?
The Dormouse

Q 30In the Vietnamese zodiac, which animal takes the place of the rabbit found in the Chinese zodiac?
The cat
The cat: one explanation is that the Chinese name for the rabbit's year, mǎo, sounded like mèo, the Vietnamese word for cat; Vietnam's cycle also swaps the ox for the water buffalo.
