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.
Really sad that the bunnies that live everywhere around my house are a pest and need to be eradicated because they take resources away from the native wildlife. We also have feral cats and foxes 😭
WOW this is a great pic - you can really see the details! Love it!!
We used to have some bunnies in the yard next door (one of them was HUGE and we called him Big Man) but the neighbors put in some awful high-pitched sound alarm thing to drive all of them off. 😡 Now no bunny watching for us. Like why do people even buy homes with access to nature if they hate it so much? I guess the bunnies were just playing in their picture-perfect (read: flat and green as a golf course) yard too much? Makes me so damn mad.
Hope in my next place I can see bunnies like this!!
Wow, how rude. I could maybe, MAYBE understand doing it to keep them out of a garden but that's what fences and wire are for. An alarm is just jerk behavior, ughhhhhhhh
Right?? The kicker is there IS a garden, but it's two houses down from us (so next door to the people who put the alarm up). The people with garden haven't installed anything - they have wire around the garden, but I wouldn't be surprised if the buns occasionally got in. Yet those folks seem to have accepted that.
These people just had a couple bunnies play-fighting and loafing on their massive flat green rectangle of a yard. They have small kids that play in the yard most days, but I can't think of how a bunny could cause any harm.
It makes me sad for the kids, honestly. They don't even have a tree back there. Now they don't even have animals, except occasional starlings in the grass.
Cute lil' thing, and mighty responsible and wise to let it be. Delightful to have such a pic to look at. Do keep us posted if it comes back and you can get some more shots 👀📸.
I usually can't get close enough to get pictures. This one let me get in my car (which was right by it but I was entering on the other side). I was then able to lean over and take a photo through the passenger side window.
We have a ton of bunnies around my neighborhood. One of the neighboring suburbs here in Kansas City stopped its coyote trapping program, and that seems to have had the effect of pushing the rabbit populations into other parts of the city.
