* Underground: In burrows dug by the rabbits themselves or sometimes in abandoned burrows of other animals.
* Aboveground: In dense vegetation, under bushes, or in shallow depressions in the ground.
The exact location of the nest depends on factors like the environment, predator risk, and availability of materials for building the nest.
Here's a breakdown of the typical features of a rabbit nest:
* Underground: The underground burrows often have multiple entrances and chambers, providing a safe and hidden space for the kits.
* Aboveground: Aboveground nests are lined with soft materials like grass, leaves, and fur for warmth and protection.
Wild rabbits are highly skilled at choosing secluded and well-protected locations for their nests to ensure the safety of their young.
