This program was first broadcast in 2020, and re-broadcast tonight in March 2024.
I learned a lot. I only really had paid attention to two rabbits, the kind my F. I. L. Used to raise in cages for eating, and the cute little wild rabbits that occasionally show up in my back yard. But I now know there are at least 100 kinds of rabbits.
I also learned the distinct differences between rabbits and hares, even though they strongly resemble each other in some ways, they also have a few significant differences.
The program shows us the desert-dwelling Antelope Jackrabbit which isn't really a rabbit but a hare. And its ability to run up to 45 miles per hour with 20-foot strides to evade attacking hawks.
A project to re-introduce rabbits to certain areas of New England.
The Missouri swamp rabbit which is a willing and capable swimmer.
The giant rabbits a lady in Stratford Upon Avon in England raises, one is a full 4 feet long and weighs over 35 pounds.
And very interesting is the 2018 rabbit show and competition where different 49 breeds compete for Best in Breed and then Best in Show, much like the dog show competitions.
Overall an excellent and interesting program on rabbits and hares. Broadcast on PBS.
