Domestic rabbit: A burrowing grazer and a favourite in children's petting areas.

The domestic rabbit, belonging to the Leporidae family, is a small mammal typically found in homes as a beloved pet. Originating from wild European rabbits, they thrive in various environments, from urban gardens to countryside fields. Rabbits are herbivores, primarily feeding on hay, fresh vegetables, and specially formulated pellets. Their conservation status is classified as least concern, meaning they are not currently threatened in the wild. Interestingly, rabbits have a unique way of expressing happiness; they can perform a joyful leap known as a "binky," which is a delightful sight for any rabbit owner. Families across the UK can spot these charming creatures at many zoos and wildlife parks, where they can learn more about their habits and care.
