📖 Read about me
The cottontail rabbit eats its own soft droppings (cecotropes) to run food through its gut twice and absorb nutrients it missed the first time. It has nearly 360-degree vision (but a blind spot right in front of its nose), freezes to avoid detection, and can zigzag-sprint up to 18 mph.
