May. 28, 2008 - Dumb Bunny

The bunny obviously doesn't google.  Rather than feeding her babies at night, as google stated she would to avoid detection of her brood, this genius lagomorph shows up at 6pm.

Broad daylight.  In the middle of my front yard, squatting on her nest for all to see.

The original dumb bunny. 

Plus, I'm not sure she really gets the whole mothering/nursing thing.  Do the babies crawl up out of the burrow to meet her?  Because she clearly wasn't hunkered down, just plopped at ground level.  But her ears were back, eyes half-closed as if she were exhausted.  I recognize this as the cross-species, universal, I-can't-believe-I-have-to-nurse-again-so-soon look.  Guess she doesn't realize how cushy her life is having only to show up once a day to perform her motherly duties.

Blessings, Holly
