| The Rabbit Gathering 1. These are baby rabbits. They are a big rabbit family. The sister and brother rabbits help each other as they grow up. They all have brown fur coats with small white spots. The white spots go away as they get older. 2. Baby rabbits are born blind and helpless. They are so weak, they can barely move. They use all of their muscles to feel their way around each other and the mother rabbit. Can you imagine that? Luckily, they are so little and new to the world, they don't know what's going on! 3. At first, all they want is to drink the mother rabbit's milk. Later, as they grow up, they gain sensitive noses. They come out of the rabbit hole with their mother and watch her sniff the air. Then they sniff too. They see if their mother likes the smell of the air or not. Soon, they become very clever. They know one smell from another. They learn how to stay away from big animals and how to find food. |
