Junior 4-H Rabbit Knowledge Practice Exam

Who typically develops a dewlap, Bucks or Does?

1. Bucks

2. Does

3. Both equally

4. Neither

The correct answer is: Does

Bucks and Does are both deer, and therefore, the question may seem confusing at first. However, a dewlap is a loose flap of skin that hangs from an animals neck, often used for display purposes. In deer, it is most commonly seen on Does. While Bucks may also have a dewlap, it is typically less prominent and developed compared to Does. Therefore, it can be concluded that Does typically develop a dewlap more than Bucks do. Option A is incorrect because Bucks may have a dewlap, but it is not as common. Option C is incorrect because while both Bucks and Does may have dewlaps, Does are more likely to develop them. Option D is incorrect because both Bucks and Does can have a dewlap, even though it is more common in Does.
