Here's some more bunnies, and other stuff from Anthrohio's Friday as we experienced it.

So this rabbit would fascinate us throughout the weekend and we're still thinking of him. You can see where his face looks like it's just missing a bunch. Most of that is that his fur was shaved, on that half of his face, necessary for surgery. It really shows you how much of a bunny is fluff, rather than skin and bones and muscle and fat. Ah, but what was the surgery for? And that's the part that might disturb some. The rabbit's eye needed to be removed, so that's what was done, and it looked a lot less gruesome than you might think from seeing a face missing a chunk like this.

A heap of Patagonian cavies wondering how their suite ended up with quite so many rabbits in it too.

Lower view of the cavies and the bunnies cohabiting.

Back to the guinea pigs; here's one of the long-haired ones.

And here the Pipsqueakery person holds up their monitor lizard, who had some monster-type name that I now can't remember.

That coati partial that I couldn't hope to acquire! Also the brush being used to smooth out the fur after two years in storage.

Trivia: The Earl of Chatham --- William Pitt the Elder --- warned the British House of Lords on the 20nd of November, 1777, that victory over the rebellion in the American colonies would be impossible. He did not yet know of the American victory in the Battle of Saratoga, which would bring France into the war on the American side.
