rabbits! A rabbit can easily gnaw a carrot with its continually

Apart from their nutritional needs, Allah has given living
creatures many features that make life easy for them. Various
rabbit species with different characteristics live on earth. Rabbits
living in cold regions, for example, are mostly white in colour. This
is an important feature that makes them invisible on the snow and
enables them to hide themselves effortlessly. Wild rabbits, which are
relatively bigger than other rabbits, have longer limbs and ears.
The desert American rabbit, on the other hand, has quite large ears.
These ears help rabbits to keep themselves cool.
In nature, most animals live in particular territories they mark
out for themselves. This is similar to us living in our comfortable
homes surrounded by our family members. Animals and animal
groups usually avoid entering other animals' territories.
"Leaving a scent" is a method employed by animals to
mark their territories. Gazelles, for instance, leave a
substance with a scent similar to tar on long thin
branches and grasses to
mark their territory. This
substance, secreted
from the glands under
their eyes, informs
other gazelles that this field
is already occupied. Reindeer, on
