Mating of rabbits

Rabbits are animals that are known for their short tail, ears and long paws. These small mammals are easily found in many regions of the planet. Although the ears and legs of rabbits are long, the size of the ears and legs of rabbits is small compared to that of true hares. However, rabbits are animals that run a lot. Most of its species are used to opening galleries underground. Underground, a diversity of generations are succeeded in the nests. The rabbit's body is also always small in size compared to that of hares. This animal lives in dry areas, close to sea level, with sandy and soft soil to facilitate the construction of its burrows. Rabbits inhabit the woods, although they prefer extensive fields that are covered with thickets where they can hide. In the past it was common to see them in various areas of cultivation, but new techniques for plowing the land destroy rabbit holes. Even so, it is possible to find them in plantations of lettuce, grains and roots grown for human consumption. Rabbits are known to reproduce quickly in the wild. Since they are natural prey, rabbits reproduce constantly to keep the species alive. Sexual maturity for rabbits is typically 3 months for females and 4 months for males, but this can vary slightly. Mating is fast, the male covers the female and shortly afterwards falls to one side giving a little cry, she is already pregnant. If she doesn't scream, she hasn't completed fertilization. Soon after being fertilized, the female no longer accepts the male, he insisting will be attacked and may have a fight. The gestation period lasts 32 days and normally 4 to 12 cubs are born, which are born blind and without fur. The mother only visits her children for a few minutes a day to feed them her nourishing milk. Weaning takes place after a month. 90% of rabbits die before their first year of life, the rest can live up to 10 years.
