This strange looking creature is a rabbit, I kid you not. It has the longest fur I have ever seen on a rabbit. The soft downy coat is honey orange, tan around the edges, and white underneath. I spotted it this morning outside my window as it nibbled through the grass of the neighbor's front lawn.
It seemed so docile as I watched it, I really thought it was somebody's pet dog at first.
Then I saw the cotton-tail when it hopped every so often. Two tiny ears on top. There was no mistaking it was a bunny rabbit.
When it makes the gerbil gobbeldy mouth movements, and twitches its head around like a prey animal does, it becomes easier to identify based on its behavior. However, because I was able to stand as near as the sidewalk to photograph it, this made me wonder if it was a tame pet someone released into the wild or lost. I could not see any tag or collar, and I did not want to bother it.
Rabbits are very unusual to find in the suburbs. We have many dogs and cats that will scare rabbits away, but on this cold day there were no cats roaming about. This rabbit was enjoying the peaceful cool air, and lounging in the sunlight, sometimes hiding under the wheel of the red car.
It sure does resemble a Kuala Bear, a dog, or any rodent other than a rabbit from a distance.
Anyways, I just wanted to share what I found with my friends today.
