The olive's fruit, also called the olive, is of major agricultural importance in the Mediterranean region as the source of olive oil. The tree and its fruit give their name to the plant family, which also includes species such as lilacs, jasmine, Forsythia and the true ash trees (Fraxinus).he immediate ancestry of the cultivated olive is unknown. It is assumed that Olea europaea may have arisen from O. chrysophylla in northern tropical Africa and that it was introduced into the countries of the Mediterranean Basin via Egypt and then Crete or the Levant, Syria, Tunisia and Asia Minor.
Rabbits gestate for only 30 days, and usually have litters of between 4 and 12 babies (kits), depending on the breed. Once the babies are born, the doe can mate and get pregnant again as soon as the following day. If they maintain a pace like that and all the kits survive, the large-litter breeds are looking at about 100 babies per season.
One of the unique reproductive rabbit facts is that in a single breeding season female is capable to produce almost 800 children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Normally females are responsible for building the nests or burrows. How Long Do Rabbits Live? The lifespan of rabbits is 9 to 12 years, and the longest ever lived was 18 years. The kits do not need to be nursed more than twice a day because of the nutritious nature. These kits will begin to see after 10 â 12 days period and after 2 weeks theyâll be eating on their own. Generally, rabbits prefer to inhabit in forests, grasslands, wetlands, meadows and burrows.
