To find out how many animals are there altogether, we need to determine the total percentage represented by the 12 rabbits.

If 25% of the animals are rabbits, then we can set up the equation:

12 rabbits = 25% of total animals

To solve for the total number of animals, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.25 (since 25% is equivalent to 0.25):

12 rabbits / 0.25 = total animals

48 = total animals

Therefore, there are 48 animals altogether.
