Description
I was watching some ducks and geese when out of the corner of my eye I saw this little rabbit peeking out from the bushes. Looked like quite a young one to me. Enjoy!Rabbit - Oryctolagus cunniculus
Body length 35-40cm
Introduced in Middle Ages but now a common and conspicuous countryside mammal despite depredations of myxomatosis. Often numerous enough to cause serious damage to crops and natural vegetation. Lives socially in extended warrens. Most active from dawn to dusk. Found in most lowland areas of Britain and Ireland.

Looks like a young one to me, too, and incredibly cute! I like how he/she's half-hidden behind the leaves.

Too damn cute. Heh, I see a ton of these little guys during the school year, my university's housing areas have dozens of these running around at night.

Cheers Alberto! Why are there so few rabbits in Italy? I thought they were common everywhere.

I don't know the reason ... Simply do not exist "free" rabbit, only nurtured like chickens. There are hares, but this is another thing ...
Ciao, my dear friend. Hope to see soon other your shots

Aww how cute
We have them running around in our garden and in the fields ... its a shame when they venture to close to the road. Poor baby bunnies!
Adorable photograph, the leaves at the front are kind of mindboggling though hehe!

Cheers! Yeah the little ones do seem to have a worrying tendancy to get very close to the edge of the road.
