Rabbit hopping competitions – too funny.
That is a photo I took last year of Max for my Christmas cards last year.
I’m going to be busy today and next week writing, giving, and grading finals (and calculating final grades), so I wanted something “Christmas-sy” at the top of my blog now.
I ran into a funny story on MSNBC when I was looking at the Animal Tracks on MSNBC. It was about a hopping competition for rabbits in Switzerland.
The photos were just too cute for words!
My rabbit, Max, is REALLY good at jumping high, and the high jump IS one of the competitions evidently, but somehow I don’t see him doing it on demand. He has to have a goal in mind. Like jumping high in order to grab some papers to chew on. Or jumping high in order to get on the couch and eat cheerios.
I just can’t see him jumping over a hurdle.
He also doesn’t have the focus for something this chaotic, I think!
Here is how the online story started, which made me laugh:
“Europe’s first-ever rabbit-hopping championship, also called Kaninhop, were held on Oct. 30, in Wollerau, Switzerland.”
“And by the looks of it, people are pretty serious about this latest trend to hit Central Europe.”
Isn’t that hilarious?! I still laugh at it.
very.
serious.
business.
Don’t you know?
Read the story here to see the rest. The bunnies are cute!
