The harlequin gene gives the bunny those prettystripes. The color itself is only showable in the Harlequinbreed itself, although the"broken" version is showable in anumber of breeds.

Yup! It's a rabbit. I agreewith you though, Amy. If I didn't read the article, Iwouldn't've believed it either. It looks more like achipmunk. Check out the link above the picture to read moreabout it.

It would be so cool if that rabbit could becrossbred with domesticated rabbits and produce a cross that lookedjust like it for show.

Whenyou are composing a post, you can insert multiple imagesin your post by choosing"insertimage"at the top right, 4th icon over of the "postreply" box. A pop-up will come up where you cantype in the URL of the image(s) that will appear in the post.You can only do this with photoson a webpage that allowsremote linking.

You can also post photos from your hard drive using the "Attachment" option.

Photos that are too large will not load and will need to be reduced in size.
