In this era of digitally-enhanced models and impossible beauty standards, one group has endured more than any other. I refer of course to bunnies, who must constantly adapt to society’s fickle demands to look cute, aided by armies of stylists. To illustrate, here’s a video showing 100 years of bunny beauty, and all the things bunnies have gone through over the years.
It’s just unfair, Andrew Y.
A quite tolerant bunneh. I’d just lay by him and snorgle.
*snerk*
Poor, gorgeous bunneh looked a little stressed–thought his nose was gonna take off!
Is nose speed correlated to stress level?
If so then bunnies would have trouble telling lies.
They breathe faster under stress. He’s not scared–body posture and ears are okay. I’m sure they didn’t do this in a just a few takes, so he’s probably had enough! Any bunny used professionly has to be pretty laid-back in the first place.
No matter what they did his “look” endured.
I didnt catch on to the fonts right off but that cracked me up. So much better than those other 100 years of beauty videos
Like the idea, but that is one bunny totally scared and actually shaking with fear… So not cute!
Thanks for letting us know. I don’t know rabbits as well as other animals, so this sort of feedback helps.
He’s breathing fast, which is why he’s shaking. 27 yrs. of rabbit experience says he’s a little stressed or anxious, but not fearful or scared to death.
“Okay, guys, this has gone on long enough! There better be treats and massages coming up!”
Well, I didn’t mean to say he was “scared to death”. Sure, he’s breathing rapidly because he’s stressed out. In my experience, being “grabbed” from above causes a flight/hide reflex in bunnies (no idea if that’s the right term in English) because they think they’re being attacked by a predator.
Overall I think he’s not very comfortable in this video so I can’t really consider it cute or funny, even though those are some fabulously floofy ears…
Dark Chocolate truffles, then a peppermint foot soak coming your way.
Really? You think? To me it just looks like normal bunny and normal breathing but they sped up the recording.
Bingo.
Methinks that bunny needs to wisecrack some whip over those people for some treats!

The grumpy bunny look is truly timeless.
