Most rahbits of Thumpers breed weigh about ten pounds, while Thumper is about 18-2-0 pounds. Rabbits are used as sentinels on some tests and during transport, of munitions. The main reason albino-rabbitare used Is that the pupil of the eve is easy to see, and a common symptom of exposure is pupil dilation. Also, the veins of the ears show up more and they are used as body regulators in rabbits. Normal Itaseline cholinesterase levels are also established for the sentinels. THUMPER was even wounded on duty. When acting as a sentinel on a test, a coyote chewed on one of as Thumper's legs. The scars remain sacrifice. evidence of Thumpers Sentinels arent needed too often i iow, so there arent many animals at the lab. In addition to rabbits, there are some guinea pigs and white mice.
