7What do you get when you shrink an equestrian jumping course, get rid of the horses, and add a bunch of fuzzy, floppy-eared bunnies? The most adorable sport ever created. Kaninhoppning, or “rabbit hopping,” originated in Sweden in the late 1970s. In it, trainers guide their rabbits by leash through a series of obstacles similar to those seen in a horse jumping competition. The rabbit who completes the course with the fewest errors and in the shortest amount of time is the winner. There may be nothing cuter than a hopping bunny, but these competitions can be downright fierce. The highest rabbit jump ever recorded was 39 inches. The longest, nearly 10 feet.

The importance of body language in public speaking

Why is body language important? You can say that having the wrong body language makes that your talk almost can’t be a success. You need a lot of talent on other elements to make up for bad body language.

Some examples of bad body language include: turning your back to the audience, moving around too much or hiding behind a desk. Gesturing also can have a bad influence on your talk. Being too aggressive in your gestures, drumming your fingers or even biting your nails are also bad examples.

But even when you aren’t doing a bad job, improving your body language can have a big effect. Especially on the way, the audience receives your talk. It can make a difference between a nice talk and actually persuading people. This is why it is important for everyone to pay attention to.
