undisputed 1,664 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Rabbits are basically sprinters and quick over 100yrds or so. It's their ability to turn on themselves that make them hard to catch. Any non discript lurcher will take a bunny after it learns to master the turns. Quote Link to post

"Rabbit (domestic) 56 kph 35 mph" 16 m/s Rabbits are generally broken down into two types regarding speed, cottontail rabbits and jackrabbits. The faster of the two by far is the jackrabbit. This is so because of the life style that these two have. Very long legs and ears characterize the jackrabbit. Jackrabbits are powerful jumpers and fast runners. In normal progress leaps are alternated with running steps, when pursued the hare runs fast and close to the ground. They can achieve Speeds up to 45 mph. The cottontail rabbits have large ears and short legs and moves with a scurrying or scampering gait, they dig their own burrows and make a nest in a depression in the ground. Unlike the jackrabbit, they seek protection in hiding rather than in swift flight. They can achieve speeds up to 35 mph. Therefore if you do not have a specific rabbit to measure the speed for it will be a guess between 35 to 45 mph or 15 to 20 m/s. All the sources seemed to be accurate except the text book source. This is a result of lack of common sense. A rabbit is not physically capable of travelling 4 km therefore its speed is oddly low compared to the rest of them. Quote Link to post

Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thats in america, not hull. In hull, some run faster than your dog, some do not. There are jack rabbits here that can line out any dog also but they are the exception not the rule. I still dont understand the animosity towards people cuz they dont live where you do. Bring your top notch f****n dog over here and show me how its done fella. This is a big ole place but you dont have to travel more than 5 miles from my front door and I will show you all the game you want that will put your mighty UK bred lurchers to the f****n "test". Come on over and get yourself some. Quote Link to post
