It’s the first day of Nosevember, so let’s take an up close and personal look at the fascinating nose of the rabbit.
The nose is very important to the rabbit, because it is often guided to food by its sense of smell.
The rabbit nose is also used to show affection. A few gentle nudges of a rabbit’s nose means “hey you,” which is about as polite as rabbits get.
But as cute as a bunny nose looks in a picture, to fully appreciate its quirkiness you’ve got to see it in motion.
“It started so innocently,” says “Greg,” a recovering rainbow addict. “I just wanted to taste the rainbow, y’know, because all the cool kids were talking about it. But after awhile, tasting it wasn’t enough. I started snorfing the rainbow too. And that’s when you really get hooked. I had to have rainbow every day. I looked for rain clouds, sprinkler systems — anything to get some rainbow.”
That’s the full spectrum of cuteness, John B.
And she knows how to use them.

In this photograph, we see a typical dog reduced to its most elemental components: At the top there is the sniffle snorfer, a precision odor detector capable of locating yummy crunchies hidden deep in trouser pockets; and beneath that the licker chomper, a powerful vacuum for whisking food out of sight in seconds.
