Clover is warm and quick to help — real rabbits are watchful animals who live in tunnels underground.
Clover the Rabbit
Meet the real animal
Rabbits are soft, long-eared animals that eat plants. They are lagomorphs, which means they are not quite the same as rodents. Many wild rabbits dig tunnels called burrows and live together in a warren, popping up to feed and thumping a warning if something worries them.
Look closer
Look at the rabbit's ears. Why might such long ears help an animal that spends time in open fields?
