Wild Rabbits.Thought we saw a Photographer- Where did she go?
Wild Rabbits are prey animals. When out of the burrow, they are constantly on the lookout for predators, such as foxes. Once they detect a danger they can signal to others by thumping their hind legs, before seeking the shelter of the burrow. Spotting predators quickly gives them the best chance of getting back before being caught. Therefore, they have good hearing, and sight, and an excellent sense of smell.
They have nearly 360° panoramic vision, allowing them to detect predators from all directions; they can see everything behind them and only have a small blind-spot in front of their nose. Their eyesight is geared towards detecting movement at great distances, however, so their up-close vision is limited. Whilst their vision is good, their sense of smell is better, and they will likely be able to smell a predator before they see them.
Rabbits hear in a similar range to humans, but they can detect higher frequency sounds than we can. Their hearing is highly developed, and they can detect sounds from far away. Rabbit ears can move independently of each other, a feature which is used by rabbits to help work out where a sound is coming from.
Difficult when you are trying to remain undetected as a Photographer.
