To all of the parents out there who slaved over a hot stove this weekend, boiling eggs, coloring easter eggs, and taking all manner of measures (including flashlights) to hide prizes in the backyard, it is you who embody the true spirit of the Easter Bunny.
Except, in one regard.
He can run like the wind. Literally.
If you think you run fast with your 6.0 setting on the treadmill, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
The average bunny can run 25mph to 45mph, far outdoing the rest of us weekend warriors. The standard backyard domesticated bunny runs approximately 25 to 27 miles per hour, whereas the wilder hares out in the wilderness zip around at a stunning 47 miles per hour.
But they’re not just about the speed. Oh no. It turns out that rabbits have evolved over time to avoid becoming easy prey. Their bodies have evolved to perform feats such as the "zigzag" and the agile leap as few other creatures in nature can.
But don’t feel badly. All of this might actually explain why no one (and I mean, no one) has ever seen the Easter Bunny in person. >”<
