You may find that in comics and movies, many people tend to hold a rabbit by lifting its ears. In fact, this is very painful and dangerous for the rabbit as it is likely to cause damage. So why are the rabbit's ears so important, and what is the correct way to handle a rabbit? Check out the video to find out more.

About the 'Hopping into Tunian' series:

Can rabbits drink water? Should you pull a rabbit's ears? What are the world's largest and smallest rabbit species? 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit, or Tunian, on the Chinese lunar calendar. For Spring Festival, we at CGTN Nature are presenting a new series, "Hopping into Tunian," to share funny stories about our buck-toothed buddies.
