Junior 4-H Rabbit Knowledge Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What do rabbits use their tail and hind feet for?

Communications, signal danger

Rabbits use their tails and hind feet for several purposes. They use their tails to communicate with other rabbits by signaling danger, interest, and aggression. In addition, rabbits use their hind feet to jump very high over obstacles and to quickly escape from predators. They also use their hind feet for balance and stability while moving around and performing quick turns. While some animals like dogs and cats use their tails for maintaining balance, rabbits do not primarily use their tails for this purpose. Similarly, while hind feet do help regulate body temperature by collecting and releasing heat, this is not the primary use of tails and hind feet combination in rabbits. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they only describe partial use of tail and hind feet in rabbits. Option A is the most appropriate answer as it describes multiple purposes that rabbits use their tail and hind feet for.
