Well, it depends on what they're doing. Simply by their build, rabbits by necessity hop along the ground. Their legs are much, much shorter than their back legs, which have a loooooooong foot on them, too, so to move at all, they must needs use a hopping motion. If they are running quickly, they move in leaps and bounds because the leg-length isn't as much of a factor. See, the rabbit is moving quickly. Its body is stretched to the limit. Its short front feet hit the ground, then its back feet reach forward in front of the front feet, hit the ground, and push off for another agile leap through the air.

When my dog is chasing them they do both. When he catches them they don't do anything anymore.
