What characteristic is defined by a "knock kneed" rabbit?

A "knock kneed" rabbit is specifically characterized by legs that angle inward at the knee. This condition indicates a structural or alignment issue in the rabbit's legs, which can affect its stance and movement. In healthy rabbits, the legs should be straight with a proper alignment that allows for optimal mobility and balance. The inward angling at the knee can lead to various issues, including difficulties in walking or running, as well as potential discomfort or strain on the joints.

The other characteristics do not specifically define "knock kneed." Straight legs indicate proper alignment, while hocks that are too far apart refer to an issue with the positioning of the legs but not their angle at the knee. Overly long hind legs do not relate to the inward angle at the knee either, focusing instead on length rather than alignment. Understanding these specific characteristics helps in evaluating the overall health and conformation of rabbits.
