scothunter 12,609 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I was always led to believe that it was used as a warning of approaching danger.Also the young bunnies would follow their mother when she flashed it if there was danger approaching.Prob not right but makes sense lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rolfe 2 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Probably evolved as a defensive mechanism..........as a pursuing predator would be attracted too... and attack the end with the least danger to the rabbit.........! Rolfe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
