Female wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have an interesting maternal behavior associated with protecting their small. When they leave their burrow, They often bury it with soil, dried greens or other materials. This instinct serves to camouflage the nest from predators, As the little ones are completely defenseless in the first weeks of their life.

When the mother returns to feed them (usually once or twice a day, mainly at night or dusk), digs the entrance to the burrow, He feeds the little ones and then he closes it carefully. This ensures that predators do not find the nest and that the little ones remain safe until they become loud enough to leave the burrow on their own.
