A rabbit is one of the few animals that can serve as a great companion and friend to humans. They are small, furry mammals with fluffy, short tails, whiskers, distinctive long ears, and large hind legs. They are also meticulously clean animals and are particularly trainable, which helps in building confidence and strengthening the bond between them and their owners.
