Answer 4

Rabbits with carpet stapled to their faces. They're adorable and funny at the same time. Tons of pet shops carry them now, so you can probably see one in person.

Answer 5

Really cute rabbits!

Lionhead Rabbits are an exciting new rabbit!

Even though they are a recognized breed in England,

they are not yet a recognized breed with the

American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA).

Currently both Purebred and Hybrid Lionheads

can be shown at ARBA shows under the

Purposed Working Standard for the breed. They will

have their first official showing with the ARBA in 2004.

The American version of the Lionhead Rabbit will

have erect ears and adults should remain under 3 3/4 pounds to be shown.

These little rabbits have a mane of wool encircling

their head much like a male African Lion. (Both male &

female Lionheads have a mane). Unlike other wool

rabbit breeds, the Lionhead Rabbit has normal fur on

the rest of their bodies. They are very friendly, easy to

train and make excellent pets. Once they reach

adulthood they do not require the extensive grooming

that some of the other wool breeds do.
