It is a mammal lagomofo , once thought it was a rodent, but the only thing I have with them is that their incisors never stop growing and have to constantly be spending them . The rabbit is native to the Mediterranean area , but today you can find anywhere in the world, thanks to its enormous capacity to adapt to any environment and their high rate of reproduction. Imagine you can have three to six deliveries per year and each can be born from four to 12 offspring , which come into this world blind and without fur. The gestation period lasts about six weeks.The rabbit is usually crepuscular habits , but often hot days meet from noon or even throughout the morning . Lives in colonies that often build labyrinthine underground galleries , called warrens .
There are about 60 different breeds of rabbits. Medium breeds reach weights between 3.5 kg , and small breeds weighing 3.5 kg . The stomach of these animals is large and never empties , also lack the ability to vomit. The bones of rabbits are extremely fragile , resulting in frequent fractures of extremities and spine. His constant movement as the nose moves renews and moisturizes the air to enhance the ability to sense odors and to be more attentive.
The lagomorphs play an important role in ecological , since many of the carnivorous population cycles are determined in a remarkable way by changes in population densities of this group , but also form the basis of food for species of snakes and raptors . Lagomorphs generally also play an important role in its activity escavadora aeration, soil mixing and recycling . Besides serving their excreta compost and provide nutrients to the soil , allowing the successful development of many plant species . Seed carriers are helping the dispersion of plants , because their diet includes large amounts of vegetative and reproductive parts of grasses, bushes and trees up . In general, these species contribute positively to the dynamics of the ecosystem.
In some countries they are considered pests , but this happened because man introduced in that habitat , and that habitat no natural predators. But in no country is in danger of extinction.
This animal I like because besides being very domesticated , is gentle , gets along well with other pets , radiating joy, his coat is very softly , very cute .
I love rabbits, I have always had a pet are the best!
