Where I live has a large rabbit population. I’ve gotten to know them much better.
Rabbits are very afraid animals and full of stealth, and almost always run to seek shelter and hide, but if caught in the open, they freeze and remain absolutely still thinking apparently that this stillness is their safety because they won’t be noticed, but their attention will be very focused on what you do. If you move toward them, they break and run.
Rabbits are very active before sunrise when the light is poor, and they can move about unseen, whereas during the daylight hours, they stay hidden and are relatively inactive. So you rarely see any during the day, but in the dark, they are everywhere.
In my next life, I don’t want to come back as a rabbit, as their nervous system must almost always be on fire — an entire life full of anxiety. No thanks. Let me come back as a lion, not as a rabbit.
