What's the use of a rabbit's tail?

兔子的尾巴又短又小，看似沒什么作用，其實兔子的短尾巴可以在緊急情況下幫助兔子逃命，當兔子被猛獸咬住時立刻使用“脫皮計”，將尾巴的“皮套”脫下，從而贏得逃命的剎那間。同時，兔子的尾巴還能在跳躍時維持平衡，直立的時候可以用尾巴作支撐以防摔倒。

The rabbit's tail is short and small, which seems to have no effect. In fact, the rabbit's short tail can help the rabbit escape in an emergency. When the rabbit is bitten by a beast, it immediately uses a "peeler" to take off the "leather cover" of the tail, so as to win the moment of escape. At the same time, the rabbit's tail can maintain balance when jumping, and it can be used as support when standing to prevent falling.
              

兔子尾巴為什么那么短？

Why is the rabbit's tail so short?

兔子的尾巴短完全是為生存而進化的結果，由于膽小，想要生存下來要使自己適應環境，一旦遇到敵害，為了迅速跑跳就要求盡量輕裝，長尾巴顯然是多余和累贅。因此，只有控制尾巴生長，長期的進化結果使尾巴變短了。

The rabbit's short tail is the result of evolution for survival. Due to timidity, it is necessary to adapt itself to the environment if it wants to survive. Once it meets the enemy, it is required to pack as light as possible in order to run and jump quickly. The long tail is obviously redundant and cumbersome. Therefore, only by controlling the growth of the tail, long-term evolution has resulted in a shorter tail.
