What sort of selection pressure decides that jumping is good for species survival while running isn’t? Isn’t quadruped running just all around more energy efficient?
In: Biology
rabbits hop because they have long powerful back legs built into an otherwise short compact body. When they get going, they run pretty much like any other animal.
When they are just moving around slower or at short distances they “hop” because their back legs are a lot longer than their front.
They are prey animals……so, they can hide decent but also quick and run incredibly fast.
