Wild robbit

The wild robbit, also known as just robbit or Uspan robbit, is a small Uspan omnivore. Though typically seen as a herbivore, they also feed on invertebrates such as worms, which they come across while digging. The additional protein from this is thought to aid in their quick growth, which was one of several traits that led to the robbit being domesticated.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Robbits are round-bodied animals, with well-developed limbs to dig through soil. Their coat is mostly furry, though they gain a warm undercoat of down during the winter, which in turn is plucked come spring to line their nests with. True feathers are found on the wings, ears, tail, and dispersed among the fur of the back.   By nature, counting the limbs of a robbit is a surprisingly difficult enterprise. They tend to tuck all four feet and both wings close to the body when at rest, and maintain a tightly coiled posture when not at rest. Their feathered tail is typically folded into a narrow rectangle, but can be quickly unfolded when the robbit takes off. Its wings, likewise, can be unfolded from where they were hidden in their fur as the robbit flees. Essential to this are their powerful back legs, which can just as easily propel a robbit over the ground as it runs, or be used to kick off into the air, where their wings can carry them away. Whether they fly, run, or jump in reaction to a threat seems to vary depending on what startled them, as well as chance: in a group of robbit, no matter how few, they will instinctively attempt to scatter with different methods.   Besides their hind legs, a robbits front legs are also not to be discounted. Scaled like their back legs, robbits use their spade-like front legs to dig their characteristic burrows, and to search for food, be it invertebrates or roots.   Most characteristic for robbits is their coloration. Though it varies among their range, they tend to be brownish in color, with a lighter underside. All robbits share the same bright orange marking however, splashed across their face, throat, and breast.
