This bunny lives near my house. It was up against my neighbor's house avoiding the rain. We think there's a bunny warren right there with some baby bunnies. I just wanted to pick up this cute bun and cuddle it, but I knew that it would run away. (And, besides, it's usually not a good idea to cuddle wild animals.) It was sitting there for quite a few hours before vanishing, but it will be back I'm sure.

The rabbits thing happened a long time ago. Some rich dude got like a dozen and set them loose on his property so he could hunt them. They multiplied like rabbits tend to and spread.

I would have thought they'd be some good grub for predators down there but I guess not enough to keep their population in check. The government actually tried using biological warfare on the rabbits without success.

Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!
