New moderator

Hey all! I'm you're new moderator, to celebrate here is a selection of adorable bunnies.

Stay wholesome!

I think she likes it here because we don't seed grass, so there's lots of clover for her to munch on. I'm not sure where she sleeps, but some days she sits in the same spot all day.

She still runs from the kids sometimes, but I can walk just a few feet away from her and she'll just watch.

But if I do it, the farmers call the police on me

The Omiltemi rabbit, which had been missing for 120 years, has been rediscovered in the Sierra Madre del Sur.

From National Fish and Wildlife Association

A resident of bottomland hardwood forests, the swamp rabbit has an unusual superpower. As the largest cottontail on the planet, their size and buoyancy make them excellent swimmers. When encountering danger, these clever floofs evade predators by hopping into water and swimming away. And they're just as speedy out of the water. Consider them the triathletes of the Mississippi Valley!

To thrive, the swamp rabbit needs large, contiguous forest patches and close proximity to wetlands. That's why we work to restore, enhance and conserve bottomland hardwood forest and wetland habitat to benefit wildlife in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley.

Bonus little video from PBS supposedly capturing the first ever footage of one swimming.
