Bunnies: Beyond the Fluffy Stereotype
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.

Did you know rabbits weren't always hopping around our homes? Believe it or not, they were first domesticated not for snuggles, but for meat and fur! Archaeological evidence suggests rabbit domestication began around 1500 BC in Europe. Fast forward a few millennia, and rabbits became symbols of fertility and abundance in the Middle Ages.

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.
