A wild rabbit stood on its hind legs to reach some tall grass. It looks so much like a kangaroo! ~ chibudgielvr

  • You're right! Great observation.

  • Thanks! I haven't seen them do that again since this was filmed.

  • shows in just under 22 seconds that adaptations acquired for many purposes(feeding included)over generations eventually embed themselves in the genome. Probably that's how the kangaroos acquired their distinct body shape, starting off as rabbit-like creatures.

  • I wonder if the ancestors of kangaroos did look like rabbits...

  • That's great, chibudgielvr. I really like your rabbit videos. As you can mabye tell from my screen name, I also have an attachment to those rodents.

    Are these your animals?

  • Thank you so much for commenting! Yes, I filmed these rabbits in my own backyard. I don't know how to upload videos from other sources, so everything on the chibudgielvr channel is made by me. I read your comment on my channel :) Thanks!

  • hahaha at 0:05 he's like "quick! someones looking, gotta get back into rabbit mode."

  • @HAYVANRASH I'm playing devil's advocate here, but where's your proof that this is an adaptation and or that it has embedded itself in the genome? How is this not a learned movement, or even just a very stubborn rabbit? There is also the fact that the kangaroo is more likely related to the opossum or the koala than the rabbit, so how would this movement transform a kangaroo and not an opossum or any other marsupial?

  • GAH SO CUTE!

  • I love rabbits. thanks for uploading all these videos of rabbits, i enjoy seeing them. specially since where I'm from we don't have a good chance of filming rabbits because there always very scared. Thanks again.
