Habitat
Wild rabbits inhabit in holes called burrows and if you see a group of burrows it's called a warren. Rabbit make burrows in forests, paddocks, deserts and wetlands. They dig these burrows to hide from predators and to raise their babies. The burrow is also used to keep the rabbit warm in winter and cool in summer. Some breeds like the cottontail live above ground in nests and use long grass and bushes to hide in for protection.
