Imagine this: you're curled up with a good book, a steaming cup of tea by your side, and the gentle hum of rain outside. Suddenly, a flash of movement catches your eye. There, peeking out from behind your bookshelf, is a fluffy bunny, its nose twitching inquisitively.

Sadly some animal testing still occurs (warning graphic images).

They use a series of thumps, stomps, and even purrs to alert each other to danger or express contentment.
