THERE WERE 2 RABBITS OUTSIDE PLAYING AND THEY DID THE THING WHERE ONE RABBIT RUNS AT THE OTHER AND THE OTHER RABBIT LEAPS WAY OVER THE OTHER AND THEN THEY STARE AT EACHOTHER!!! IVE ONLY SEEN THEM DO THAT IN VIDEOS WOW
I just thought you all deserved to see some of the adorable buns who live in my yard ❤️
The one with more close ups is Fuss, who trusts me the most, the tall, long eared one is Jack, the one all flattened out is Sailor, and the teeny one in the last picture is baby Frankie (their parents, Danny and Kara, are shyer and so it’s harder to get clear photos of them)
I also want to know from any conservationists what I should do if I see another baby bunny in the future- I generally don't believe in messing with wildlife, like not even touching them, but I would love to learn more on if that's the proper course of action
remember how we thought black widow (2021) was going to be the darkest mcu movie, but then after the really well-done opening credits montage, the movie stopped being dark, and then two years later, a silly little Guardians of the Galaxy movie ended up being the movie where every person I’ve talked to said that they were deeply upset by it and they cried 6 times and that it was the most beautiful marvel movie in years and 100% the darkest movie that the mcu has ever made and was surprisingly gory and had the mcu’s first f-bomb and i even openly wept in a movie theater for the first time since avengers: endgame and there were points where i could just hear everyone crying and
They do a bit - the biggest difference is between the "wild type" hares still used by nomads, and the "standard" stockier varieties you'll find in cities and towns. Standards have over time gotten shorter and more compact to work better as cart animals.
They are entirely black with red eyes. But try to tell someone haretouched this, and they'll insist they range an infinite number of colors, and that their eyes run a gamut from sparkling ruby red to deep scarlet. It's true that different pelts will shine different greens and blues in the light, but... the color naming can get almost fanatical.
Hares also can have some general individual differences like ear length, tail shape, snout length. To the layman though, they're hard to tell apart.
They're not bred for color. In fact, they're rarely bred for... many reasons. Hares have a long lifespan (longer than humans, sometimes...) and a haretouched human will usually only bond to one hare in their lifetime. They are difficult to breed too-- they get aggressive.
Hares are not purposefully bred in nomadic society. (You just go find one on the tundra, or sometimes a doe comes back pregnant.) In the settled north, they're bred only when too many cart hares have died in mining accidents or the like.
Still, if they were capable of coming in colors other than black, it seems like it would have happened by now.
...There are some old nothern legends about a snow white hare who only appears to those the "most cursed", but they're half-forgotten oral traditions at this point.
Some outfit exploration for my OC Chime, a Tibetan nomad! She's the best lil guy for me to play around with the concept of lengthy braids that can be wrapped around your neck. Technically a women's chuba (Tibetan robe) goes down to one's feet, but Chime only has access to the one from her childhood, so it's easily mistaken as men's :D (oh, and the gas mask? don't worry about it<3
