Why are rabbit ears so long?

The rabbit’s long and big ears can indeed improve its hearing and can also be used to dissipate body heat. However, by comparing the ears of other animals that need to run quickly, it is not difficult to find that the ratio of the rabbit's ears to the body length is indeed much larger than that of other animals that need to run quickly, while the ratio of the rabbit's tail to the body length is much smaller than that of other animals that need to run quickly. Other animals need to run quickly. From this, the author hypothesizes that during movement, rabbits use swinging ears to replace the function of swinging tails used by other animals that need to run quickly to balance their bodies. That is to say, when the rabbit is running and turning, it can fine-tune its body balance by swinging its long ears left and right. The experience of human beings riding bicycles shows that if a rabbit balances its body directly on its head by swinging its ears, the effect will obviously be better. This shows that the evolutionary selection of ears and tails of rabbits is based on its scientific basis. Those jokes "rabbit's tail" "Can't grow" animals must be laughing wrongly. Since the rabbit's back is higher than its head, it is possible that the rabbit also uses its large erect ears as a contact sensor. If the tips of the ears come into contact with an object during movement, the rabbit will pay attention to shrink its back in time. height to avoid collision with objects. Therefore, when a rabbit walks forward, even if it only takes a small step, it will instinctively raise its ears. Especially when the rabbit enters a cave with extremely poor lighting, this function allows it to move freely. Avoid hitting the wall one after another. Compared with using a long tail to balance the body, using long ears to balance the body can effectively shorten the length of the body, thereby increasing the distance between the body and the pursuer. Although this distance is insignificant, for rabbits, it is entirely possible that it is related A distance from one's own life and death.
