The European rabbit is a medium-sized mammal with long ears and strong hind legs. This species lives in colonies in burrows and has become the ancestor of all domestic rabbits.
The European rabbit differs from hares with its short tail, burrowing habit, and more social lifestyle. It serves as the main food for many predators and helps maintain the balance of vegetation.
