Bunnies make great pets, but there’s something about them that’s just so condescending. For those of you who need a few more snarky rabbits in your life, try DisapprovingRabbits.com.

Homing Pigeon Adopts Baby Bunnies

Posted by Jill Harness in Animal on July 13, 2009 at 2:39 pm

An animal rescue helped save three baby bunnies that were attacked by a dog and orphaned. The clinic workers noticed that a one-legged homing pigeon that also resided at the clinic began watching the babies through their cage and even sleeping just outside the cage door.

”Then suddenly, there were only two bunnies in the cage. To everyone’s surprise there was the tiny bunny under Noah’s wing sound asleep! That little bunny rabbit had crawled through the cage, preferring a featherbed!”

Now Noah, the pigeon looks after the bunnies and makes sure they are warm and well-cuddled.

Playboy Bunnies Close to Extinction

Posted by Miss Cellania in Animal on June 30, 2009 at 11:50 am

Sylvilagus palustris hefneri is a now-endangered species of rabbit named in honor of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. University of Central Florida graduate teaching assistant Rosanna Tursi is studying the genetic diversity of the species in the Florida Everglades, of which there may be only 300 rabbits remaining.

Hefneri is the most recently recognized subspecies of the marsh rabbit. It’s small with short, dark brown fur and a grayish-white belly. Discovered in 1984, the subspecies was named in honor of Hefner after his organization donated money to support fieldwork on the rabbits. Good for Hef!

His namesake bunnies live in an island environment and are dependent on specific grasses and plants for feeding, nesting and shelter. Population growth and development in their area has led to the death of the bunnies at the hands of vehicles or domestic animals. Their natural habitat also is being destroyed.

Remind me to bookmark this for Mother’s Day emails. Who could resist a cat that has adopted a bunny as part of its litter?
