Why is the m1derpart of rabbits

has on occasion to serve as a danger

whereas it might be wholly invisible
if the color Of the tail was uniform

Why has cat got whiskers? Be-
cause otherwise and this applies to
the whole of the feline family, includ-
ing lions and tigers-its eyes would
lose sight of prey, such as birds or
mice, through fatigue arising from
concentration. Experiments prove
that cats deprived of their whiskers
catch few mice or none at all.
