In the wild, they eat green leafy plants such as clover, grass and weeds as well as twigs, bark and fruits.In the Chinese Zodiac, the Rabbit is the fourth animal sign and a Yin sign. Rabbits are characterized as introverted and sensitive to others. They are seen as intelligent, intuitive and trustworthy. They are also talented and ambitious. They are well-mannered, gentle,
delicate and peace-loving creatures. They would rather avoid confrontation and possess skill in negotiation and diplomacy. They appreciate things of great beauty. On the downside, the Rabbit can be too sensitive, suspicious and moody. They also play safe too often and have a hard time making decisions. They also have a tendency to be snobbish and self-indulgent. The allies of the Rabbit are the Sheep and the Pig. The Rabbit’s secret friend is the Dog.

Some have even claimed that rabbits exist in real life but of course, rabbits and cats can’t breed with one another. In general, domestic rabbits are not very fond of swimming. When they become wet, they can come down with hypothermia and get sick. Maybe that’s why they need a boat.
