Rabbit

Rabbits can hop high into the air using their long hind legs. Also, because their hind legs are longer than their front legs, they can run up hills quickly but have trouble running downhill. On flat ground, they use the power of their long hind legs to accelerate and change direction very effectively. They retain their wild instincts to dig holes in the ground or gnaw on twigs and tree bark, so you can often see them digging or gnawing on things.
