How Fast Is European Rabbit?

Wild rabbits sprint at 56 km/h. They can leap 90 cm vertically, but have a striking blind spot directly in front of their nose — which is why they often appear to look at you side-on rather than head-on.

Rabbits' eyes are positioned for a 360-degree field of view — they can see behind themselves without turning their head, a critical adaptation for prey animals.

• Same as a galloping giraffe
• Blind spot directly ahead of their nose
