    The "Magic Rabbit" - ever heard of this critter?

    I stumbled across this article, I do not remember where, but are they not just about the cutest things? I hope they manage to survive and even come back from the brink, they are just fascinating! They are lagomorphs, so related to bunnies and hares, hence the nickname Magic Bunny!

    Have never seen this critter, ever. I sure hope it never becomes extinct as well.

    Oh, that critter is adorable!

    Here's hoping and praying that they survive and multiply.

    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    I would sooooo adopt some if they could be captured and do everything I could to make sure they multiply! I wonder if that has ever been tried! So little seems to be know about them - but we have areas around here I bet they would like, up in the Berkshires or White or Green mountains!

    There are are many places here in lower B.C. that I think they would thrive as well, Kamloops, Alberta and Sask. as well. sometimes foreign critters also introduce new weird diseases that can cause big trouble. More research perhaps, better to be safe than sorry. They are very cute little duffers!
