Have you done English spot rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus)?

I don't do breeds and morphs, but I'll do a poll on the European rabbit and include a photo of an English spot rabbit :)

Second photo thanks to u/Herodias on Reddit. Wild European rabbits are an endangered species. Outside of their native range, Feral European rabbits are an invasive species, found in parts of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South America.

I just realized that apparently I never shared this series here on Tumblr??  

I call it Living Paintings, as they are recreations of extinct animals that some artists actually saw and painted from memory, a long time ago.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Many animals have unusual hunting methods, but the marsh mongoose's might be one of the strangest. To catch birds, adults will sometimes lie on their back as if sunbathing. This exposes their bright pink anus, and curious birds are drawn to peck at it. The mongoose then explodes into action, pouncing on the bird.

Hello! I run the social media for my local library and I was just wondering what sort of plant or creature might emerge if I talk about books here. Just a lil guy perhaps, to encourage public library use. A new library mascot to say "Books are cool! Reading is fun!" etc. Thank you for your time and efforts. 📚
