Hello. I am a rabbit. Humans usually describe us as cute, quiet, and harmless. That is where they make their first mistake. We are calm because we choose to be. We are observant because survival taught us to be. While you see fluff and twitching noses, we see patterns, movements, and intentions. Living close to the ground does not make us small-minded. It makes us very aware of everything around us.
Here is something you probably did not know. We memorize our environment in detail. Every corner, every sound, every safe path. When we run suddenly, it is not panic. It is instinct and calculation combined. Our ears are not just for listening. They are radars. We hear danger long before you notice anything has changed.
Humans also think we do not communicate much. That is funny. We communicate constantly, just not loudly. A flick of the feet, a freeze, a slow approach, all messages. When we thump, it is not drama. It is a warning. And when we stay still near you, that is trust at its highest level.
Another curiosity. We bond deeply. Once we feel safe, we remember it. We know who moves gently, who respects space, and who rushes. That is why we choose our humans carefully. You think you picked us. In reality, we decided you were safe enough to stay.
So next time you look at a rabbit and think fragile, remember this. Soft does not mean weak. It means precise.
