  1. If this hasn’t been photoshopped then this looks like an Elfin rabbit. Those are usually thinner than normal rabbits and used for sports due to their strong and fast texture. The body is definitely of a rabbit and the face features resemble those of an Elfin rabbit except for the ears.

    If it’s not an Elfin then it must be another type of rabbit since there are so many types out there.

  2. texture = physique (I guess I’m half asleep :P)

  3. I’m guessing this is a wild rabbit

  4. kangaroo khaleji ? :p

    And if i remember correctly it’s some kind of a rodent πŸ™‚
    a huge one in this case πŸ˜›

    Oh ohh i googled and found out that it’s called: A patagonian Cavy, the world’s fourth largest rodent πŸ˜›
    IT’S CUTE THOUGH *.*

  7. im guessing its a mix between a rabbit and a kangaroo :p

  8. Baby Kangaroo?

  9. where is his other hand ??

  10. It is called ‘mara’ or it has another name ‘liebre patagonica’. Its origin is in the Argentinean Patagonia. Its family is the hare. It is a little bigger than a hare, and with a big head. It is really funny watch them walking.

  11. Sorry, my mistake. It is called hare, but it doesn’t belong to that family. It is a rodent. It has a similar face to other that we have here called capybara (or carpincho as we call them here).

  12. wild rabbit

  13. I’m glad its categorized as a rabbit I’ve been wondering for a year now

  14. @ Grey, no man he was framed a loooong time ago.. this is someone else. πŸ˜›
