The Living Forest (351) : European Rabbit
The European rabbit, also known as wild rabbit, is a mammal that is originally native to southwestern Europe (Spain & Portugal) and northwest Africa (Morocco & Algeria).
It has been introduced by man on all continents with the exception of Antarctica and sub-Saharan Africa, and caused many problems within the environment and ecosystems.
Australia has the most problems with European rabbits, due to the lack of natural predators there.
In the past, the wild rabbit was also widely domesticated for food or as a pet.
It was already kept in ancient Rome and was refined into a wider variety of breeds during the Middle Ages.
My picture shows a wild rabbit that has left his safe hollow (see background) to enjoy a moment of early spring sunshine.
Dutch name : Wild konijn
German name : Wildkaninchen

: ) cute! and always great to see how well adapted, well camouflaged they are against a sandy background! what makes me chuckle is mr. bunny's suspicious and slightly miffed expression: he seems to be fully aware of the photo hunter aiming his camera at him from behind – "ugh! what a nuisance they are, those carrotless stalking shutterbugs!" ; ) greetings, sabine.Sylvia Schulz 05/03/2016 19:39

good to eat ... Interesting your glance, but, above all, the speed of execution, taking into account that rabbits are very suspicious, and fast in the escape.Sabine Junge 02/03/2016 23:53
