Holland Lop Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus)
The Joy of the “Binky”
When a Domestic Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus) experiences peak happiness, it explodes into a joyous maneuver called a binky. Sprinting at full speed, it launches itself into the air, twisting its head and hindquarters in opposite directions before landing smoothly and sprinting away.
“A rabbit’s teeth never stop growing. They grow up to 5 inches per year, requiring continuous chewing on coarse grass hay to grind their dental enamel down naturally.”
360-Degree Panoramic Vision
Because a rabbit’s eyes are located high on the sides of its skull, each eye has a field of view of nearly 180 degrees. Combined, a rabbit can see almost a full 360 degrees around its entire body, spotting movements above and behind it without turning its head.
