Long Ears

Southern Vancouver Island

Rabbits are always busy listening and their big ears help to keep them aware of their surroundings.
While generally known for those massive ears, their ears actually do a lot more than just hear
predators and friends. Rabbits ears are crucial for thermoregulation. Their large surface areas allow
them to release their heat and keep cool, that’s why rabbits that live in hot areas tend to have the
largest ears. ~ McGill University - Office for Science and Society
