Road Runner Posted April 23, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 23, 2018 After I cut my grass yesterday, I came across a bunny sitting next to one of the posts of my yard swing. It was just sitting there with it's butt up against the post. I walked up to it and stared it in the face. It's little black eyes just stared back at me. I talked to it, telling it I was impressed with it's apparent complete lack of fear of the big ugly human. I got a couple feet away, but the bunny never moved. I began to think it was dead. I walked away and when I came back an hour or so later, the bunny was gone. What do you make of this strange behavior? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirwickWithCheese Posted April 23, 2018 Share #4 Posted April 23, 2018 The bunny is a Puerto Rican bunny and a member of the Sharks. Soon your territory will be invaded and you'll have to rumble to keep your beautiful sister away from the bad bunnies. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that Bikeman's avatar is the cause of all this bunny chicanery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post shootingstar Posted April 23, 2018 Popular Post Share #8 Posted April 23, 2018 I was super surprised a few winters ago, when I crept close up to this rabbit below when it was -35 degrees C. It was crouched under an evergreen tree. So it became a Christmas blog post...a Christmas bunny. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted April 23, 2018 Share #10 Posted April 23, 2018 If it was a young bunny, they will freeze when frightened, probably because their camouflage is better developed than their legs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted April 23, 2018 Share #12 Posted April 23, 2018 Getting back on track to bunny. We have wild rabbits and hares scampering in the park ....and downtown car traffic. I see at least 1 wild one 1-2 times per wk., jumping about on my bike commute to work early morning. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted April 23, 2018 Share #13 Posted April 23, 2018 You probably ran over her young with the mower and didn't realize it. The mother was in shock over the events of the day. Sorry. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted April 23, 2018 Share #14 Posted April 23, 2018 It was dead. A cat or a dingo got it. In my previous home, the back yard was fenced in and I had no pets. The birds, squirrels, bunnies, etc. loved it. When I would come out in the yard to work on it, the flock of Mourning Doves pecking for worms and bugs wouldn't fly away, they would simply move to a part of the yard in which I wasn't working. The squirrels would keep an eye on me but woudn't run up a tree unless I got too close. But the rabbits would run OUT of the yard as soon as they knew I had discovered them. The babies were small enough to squeeze through the chain-link fence. The bigger ones could squeeze through the gaps in the gates. Your bunny was either high on some wild-growing drug or dead. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, you people suck. No RR. Your Bernardo just understood instinctively you are a good egg and was just enjoying a beautiful moment in time with you. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur ★ Posted April 23, 2018 Share #17 Posted April 23, 2018 Bunnies freeze when they sense danger. The thought is that motion triggers the attack response in a predator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had it several times..different ways in restaurants. Tender. Some areas have too many wild rabbits. Vancouver Island was experiencing a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t “Maybe if I ignore him he’ll go away...” the usual response to your presence, by that gender? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
