Rabbits have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria. The relationship is mutualism.

Rabbits are able to camouflage into their environment by changing their fur color to match the surroundings. They are white in the winter and are brown in the spring. It can live in the winter because its fur will keep it warm. Rabbits reproduce by having intercourse. They are pregnant for only 30 days and will have between 4 and 12 babies.
