Rabbits are lagomorphs which means they have large back feet, gnawing teeth, and large ears. Since they have large ears, they can hear all the sounds around them. Whenever a rabbit hears a sound, his or her ears turn in that direction. It's their instinct. When all rabbits were wild, they depended on their sound catching ears! So coyotes or another predator could be detected before the coyote has some fast food!
