Wow it's a beautiful rabbit!

It is actually quite different to a rabbit; just has evolved to look the same with the exception of the long tail.

Oh it's a viscacha, the first time I heard about it.

she is cutie!

Is it kind of flat or is it the angle making it look like that? o_O

That's just the depth of field compression from the telephoto lens.

They are such an odd looking creature aren't they!
