Rabbits are on 3 different episodes, and are #10 on Jumpers, #7 on Birth, and #6 on Global Conquerors. According to Jumpers, when they are sprinting, their legs work like a spring of coiled wire that flexes and then pushes the rabbit forward, making it jump 10 times its body length. They also reproduce incredibly fast, as according to the episode Birth, it only takes until the age of 6 months to give birth, which they can then give birth every month 6 at a time for the next decade. Theoretically, a single pair of rabbits can have 414 descendants in only a year. According to the episode Global Conquerors, a real life example involved Europeans, bringing 22 rabbits into the New World to make them feel at home, which over the course of 20 years multiplied to 22 million. Europeans tried to keep them from spreading by putting up a really long fence, but they just went under the fence and managed to invade 29 countries. Also according to the episode, rabbits began their voyage back in Ancient Rome.
