Rabbits Can T Hop. The cause of the sauteur's defective jumping appears to lie with a mutation in an evolutionary conserved site of a gene known as rorb, which provides instructions to. Mutations in this gene cause defects in the rabbits’ spinal cords, which mean they can’t coordinate their limbs well enough to. These animals have strong back legs, so they can easily hop to escape danger, but they will walk when they’re exploring new territories or when they’re cautious. A flawed gene might turn some bunnies’ hops into handstands, a new study suggests. That strange gait may be due to a mutation in a gene that helps limbs move. The team pegged a faulty rorb gene as the culprit for causing the rabbits to send their hind legs into the air while taking off on their front paws. Some rabbits can’t hop, and a single gene is the reason why. Although rabbits are commonly seen running and hopping around, these animals can also walk. Mutations in a gene typically found throughout the nervous system rob rabbits of their ability to hop. Baby rabbits that couldn’t hop, the researchers found, had a single mutation in both copies of a gene called rorb. One breed of domesticated rabbit called sauteur d’alfort has a funny way of walking. To move quickly, they send their back legs sky high and walk on their front paws. The only rabbits that don’t hop are a french breed, known as sauteur d'alfort rabbits, and this is due to a selective genetic mutation. These animals also had fewer neurons expressing the protein rorb in their spinal cords, which probably interfered with the movement of their hind limbs.
