At first glance you might wonder, “What in the world kind of animal is this?” I mean, he looks like something from Dr. Seuss.
Actually he’s an Angora rabbit, and the reason he looks so strange is that he’s recently been shorn, except for his ears. These rabbits have to be barbered regularly, to keep them healthy. But left his ears alone.
His name is Wally and he’s a bit of a star on youtube–high-spirited little guy, very playful. I imagine that if all his fur were left on, he would look like an oversized tribble with wings.
