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

兔子的尾巴又短又小，看似没什么作用，其实兔子的短尾巴可以在紧急情况下帮助兔子逃命，当兔子被猛兽咬住时立刻使用“脱皮计”，将尾巴的“皮套”脱下，从而赢得逃命的刹那间。同时，兔子的尾巴还能在跳跃时维持平衡，直立的时候可以用尾巴作支撑以防摔倒。

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.
              

兔子尾巴为什么那么短？

Why is the rabbit's tail so short?

兔子的尾巴短完全是为生存而进化的结果，由于胆小，想要生存下来要使自己适应环境，一旦遇到敌害，为了迅速跑跳就要求尽量轻装，长尾巴显然是多余和累赘。因此，只有控制尾巴生长，长期的进化结果使尾巴变短了。

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.
