Rabbits are incredibly agile and can run quite swiftly when they feel the need to. On average, a rabbit can run at speeds of around 25 to 45 miles per hour (40 to 72 kilometers per hour). However, this speed can vary among different rabbit breeds and individual rabbits.
Rabbits have strong hind legs that propel them forward, allowing them to quickly evade predators or escape potential danger. Their ability to change direction rapidly, combined with their speed, helps them navigate through their natural habitats quickly and efficiently.
