Ahaha xD
I SHALL TAKE NOTE

Most bun buns DO have pads they are just covered in fur.

I've had rabbits for many years and I've never felt lumps on their feet where padding would be, if you ever feel rabbit feet you can easly tell it is just thick fur. I've also raised a litter of rabbits, so I've seen them when they're bald. Rabbits are one of the few mammals without them, and because of that they have tendency to slip and slide on smooth surfaces

the big cuddly lardos I had as a cub did. I dunno :U

They don't. Trust me.
I have an all white bun who needs his feet washed weekly to prevent staining from when he's in the litter box.
I have to scrub them, and there is nothing but fluff down there.
Wet rabbit feet are scary, I kind of wish they did have pads, they would be a lot cuter when wet that way haha.

maybe it was sores or lumps of fur. I know rabbit tend to get swelled lumps on their feet when they have wire cages.
I thought rabbits usually took care of their feet cleanliness? My guy uses a litter box and his feet are usually clean.

I think they're adorable with all that fluff Cx but they look pretty bony when the feet get wet.

He's not the best about it.
His litter box is always clean but he still somehow ends up with a bit of yellowing.
I'm rather OCD about his coat, so the washing is as much for me as it is for him.
Luckily he really enjoys the bath, so everyone is happy.

Oh, well my guy's brown, so it's not as easy to tell. I use to have a light grey rabbit and her feet got pretty yellow, though I never really bathed her because I didn't want to put her under stress.
Never heard of a rabbit liking a bath xDD

He's all about it.
I have a small shallow tub that I use, he free ranges in the living room, and as soon as he see's me bring the tub in he goes nuts.
I have to be careful because he tries to jump in as soon as I set it down and dumps it all over lol.
Then as soon as he's in the bath, he relaxes and enjoys it.

My old bun HATED water, so I was blown away when he actually enjoyed it.

My best friend also owns rabbits
And was in 4H her whole life....
So I hear about these things all the time xD
If she sees this I'm sure she would agree with you
And continue on the subject for hours lol

Watch me draw rabbits with paw pads just to piss you off.

You evil thing you.

they are not really errors but more as aesthetics or design exaggerations. once you notice them, it is like a "whoa hey!" but everything is all done for a reason. if they would have drawn most those characters without pawpads it would look really odd. i do know where you are coming from, i notice those things to and i did have a rabbit myself haha.

[sorry my caps key is broken!]

I know people who are cartoonists tend to do these errors, but a lot of people actually don't know it and assume they have padding like a cat or dog. I've also seen artists with realistic styles draw padding and digitigrade feet.

i agree with you, but i also think popping out their nose and such, ex. rodger rabbit was done as more of a design quality than two holes on his face it would have looked rather creepy with his really large eyes. but thats just me! but yeah i think most people who draw rabbits forget or do not know that they dont have pawpads, maybe they forget that they are rodent? who knows! =)

I can completely understand the aesthetics for cartoon characters (You want them to look more appealing to kids) Though unfortunately because of these characters it can give artists the wrong impression about what a rabbit really looks like. I suppose it's the errors when the style is intended to be realistic is when it really bothers me.

also, rabbits aren't actually rodents, they are part of the order Lagomorpha c:

Oh YESSSSSS Thank you very much.
It annoys me every single freaking time I see it.

It's sad because I love rabbit noses, but people seem to prefer canid ones. :C

i know! rabbits have the cutest muzzles/noses, I really can't stand the buck teeth either xD you can only see their teeth when they yawn or if you lift up their lips.

I think one of the only mammals that actually has visible buck teeth is the naked mole rat. Beavers, rats, and mice don't have visible buck teeth and neither do rabbits! ARGH

omg bunny yawns <3333 lol XD I miss having bunnies and seeing all their cute things, like yawns and when they flop down on their sides to lay down and stretch out their back legs skdjslfjdjfk so cute <3

Oh god the flop is hilarious! My rabbit loves to flop on his side in front of me, I still get a little scared since it looks like he just died.
And I love it when they get excited and run up to you, my guy comes over so fast he slips on the way there xD and when they nudge your foot to pet them.

I just love everything about rabbits, they're so quirky.

Omg yes love when they flop XD <333 though I know I've gone over to check my bunnies nose was still doing a little twitch and make sure she was alright lol they lay SO still XD And yeah mine always ran over to me to nudge me for loves too, omg so sweet, and she would climb onto my lap and stand up on me with her front paws against my chest so she could lick my chin <3 omg I miss her so much, I love bunnies, so sweet <3

Aww<3 mine loves to circle around me and climb on my lap too c:
My rabbit is too dominant in personality and usually won't lick me, but he licks the floor after I pet him, which from what I've read is an indirect form of licking you haha.

Omg mine did all the time lol if I said "give mommy kisses" she would lick the tip of my nose lol and she would lick my hand to ask for attention all the time XP She wasn't very dominate, she was very sweet

Welp. Didn't exactly know that. I'm also guilty of some of the other things too Q v Q; haha. Although I like rabbit noses, not sure if I've drawn them wrong or not off the top of my head e_e;

How about the fact that rabbit balls are ABOVE the penis and not below?

When people draw dog or cat noses on rabbits it annoys me... they have slits for nostrils and that's about it. And I use to work in a pet store and some of our rabbits actually had buck teeth because they refused to chew on things.

yeah, I have a uneutered male so I know about that xD but i tend to draw human like genitals so i don't really worry about that area.

Ah yeah i know, you can sometimes see a small slither of skin on their noses http://www.doublelrabbitranch.com/i.....RabbitNose.jpg but it's never like the huge round noses i see.
Huh that's odd, I've never heard of a rabbit that didn't want to chew on something.

I've never heard of such breeds, what are they called?

Hare's are not technically rabbits though. They are hares. They are related to rabbits but are not rabbits.

Like I said, they are related to rabbits but that doesn't make them the same. You wouldn't call a mouse a hamster would you?

How is it silly? XD Rabbits and Hares are different, they don't even have the same number or chromosomes, live differently then rabbits and are born covered in hair and with open eyes, when rabbits are born blind, hairless and helpless. They are similar, and related, but they are not the same.

Some people simply cannot handle having their own opinions, beliefs or thoughts contradicted, especially if they are actually wrong.

Yeah, I know this all to well from my ex but I think it's kind of childish. And I think people should check their facts before acting like they know everything. If you're wrong you're wrong, no shame in admitting it. I don't mean to come off as a bitch of anything but I just rather people have accurate information.

Wow, he sure ran away fast when proven incorrect... I'm not surprised though, more often than not it really feels like people just speak out of their butts and never take the time of day to read up on actual facts. I'm the same as you, I always check my facts and if im wrong or feeling unsure of my answer, ill admit it.

Not sure what point he was trying to make other than he can't handle the truth. Also, you didn't come off as a bitch to me, just being factual.

I'd prefer to give him/her the benefit of the doubt and assume they just didn't want to get into an argument.

That said, I am LOVING this journal =D
Soo much I'm learning today!

(Only owned one rabbit, when I was like... 8, and I was in 4-H but not for animal stuff. I must say though, it doesn't surprise me that Rabbits don't have pads, given what I've seen of them. I used to hold my friends rabbits, and never once saw or felt a pad)

I've always wanted a rabbit, seriously was a huge deal for me as a kid, I begged liek no other child in the world. Never got me anywhere and now it would be too late with two dogs and two cats. Maybe down the road I could but...not for a very long time until I have the means for a bunny.

I love informative stuff like this. Every time I need to draw something, first thing I do is research. I research everything about the character and look for similar art of them so I can get a good feel for them and then I look up things that pertain to their species. I love looking up visual refs for work so that I can get things more visually accurate.

The thing is, most people want pads on their bunnies and just like when I was approached by someone to draw different vulvas... You can't go around pushing that sort of stuff on your commissioners. Personal art, no problem, in fact, I've got an accurate bunny boy ive been dying to draw. But you can't just be like "hey I don't feel like drawing the same vulva every time even though it's popular and it's what you want, sorry!"

Every once in a while, I get something different but it's all about what im asked for as #1.

Yeah, I'm trying to be more accurate with the anatomy of my sonas/characters... Biggest problem is most of them are vague ideas from when I was a kid (think 9 ish) so they're all always getting changed with new ideas to make them all more accurate to what they are supposed to be... But it gets difficult >.< (example, Archer, is a fox, and doesn't have paw pads really... His feet might, but I've never gotten them drawn like that, his hands don't because they are hands)

The biggest "exception" for accuracy is if there's a symbolic meaning behind why they are that way... But I'll definitely keep you in mind for gift art to my mate! I know she'd be thrilled to get a more accurate version of her sona Lila.

Well yeah, I've got characters like that too that are slowly getting switched around little by little. My sona Loti gets altered every time I draw her. Like by little im trying to grow her into what I ultimately want her to be. Theres nothing wrong with changes or experimentation with your characters. Plus having back stories for why they are the way they are can help solidify them. My biggest issues is trying not to make all my characters mary sues. I'm bad at it :<

Even if I base a character after myself and close to my personality some how she turns out very mary sueish XD

Also, I'm honored to be considered!~ I usually open the 1st of every month or a few days before depending on bills. Also, when I reach my monthly goal and finish early, i'll often offer discounted items like colored sketches with free cell shade!

Small changes always happen XD
And with backstory mine tend to solidify and stay who they are.

Donno what to tell you bout the mary sue issue >.<

I know ^.^ I am a watcher of yours =D

I'm sorry D:

I thought your name looked familiar!!

No worries! You have over 1500 watchers, I don't expect you to remember my name XD

Rabbits are awesome little pets C: and mine that I had got along with my boyfriends moms cat when we lived with her lol seeing them cuddle on the couch was adorable XP

I actually have two dogs and they get around really well with my rabbit (My rabbit even demands to be groomed from them) and I've heard that cats can get along really well with rabbits too.

Oh im sure they would too actually, though one of our cats is pretty dumb but they're trained pretty well for the most part. If we had a bunny they'd know better because I'd lay boundaries right away but it's a matter of so many animals XD

As much as I love pets, I can only make so much time and I've already got a handful for me. Last thing I'd wanna do is be having to split my time even more and loose out on time with the ones I have right now. One of our dogs is an elderly fellow, just turned 13 this past October. I can easily see him living another happy 3 years. After he passes, I'll possibly see then about another adoption. Derek my SO is pushing for a reptile, im going for either another kitty or maybe even the bunny. But we have plenty of time to figure that out. For now, just gotta make him as happy and comfortable in his last stretch of years.

I don't think a rabbit would last long with my dogs. They're gentle as mice, but the terrier has tasted rabbit more than once after finding dead ones in the yard in winter, that got trapped by the fence. :(

I usually tell my customers when they commission me to give me every detail about the anatomy of their character. ESPECIALLY the genitals. Because I've seen dogs with horse cocks and rabbits with dog cocks (I actually asked the rabbit why, he said because that's what a rabbit penis looked like. When I explained that the balls are on top of the penis, and that the shaft does NOT look like that and showed him a picture of a real one, he did exactly what the rabbit up there did. Said I was wrong and ignored me.) Anyway... when I draw male rabbits I always tell them to describe or show me a picture of their genitals because if they don't, I draw them with the balls on top and a rabbit penis or balls on top with an almost human like penis. (Usually a mix with the sheath and stuff)

Yeah well I'm glad other people see the logic in this lol and thanks for not thinking I'm a bitch XP I'm just trying to make sure people aren't giving out inaccurate information. I've owned rabbits, I had one that I had for awhile and we bred her and kept the babies so for awhile we had three and before we bred her I did a lot of research on rabbits. I don't claim to know everything but I would like to think I am fairly knowledgeable.

I will argue until the cows come home if I think I'm right, but I try to support my arguments and if you can provide proof that I'm wrong, I'll be happy to admit it and learn something new.

You may be confused since their is a breed of RABBIT named the Belgian Hare, which is not a Hare but a breed of Rabbit that was bred specifically to resemble a Hare, which are not domesticated like rabbits.
Just because they look similar and are of the same family does not make them the same thing. Don't be sore and just ignore me for saying so but open your mind to new information. Won't hurt you.

is it Lepus tibetanus? (i'm getting multiple species when I look up the name) Do you know where I can find some good pictures of the species, as it's proving rather difficult to find. It'd be interesting to see a rabbit with padding.

Oh, I see! o: Thanks for bringing this up. :D

Ooooooh, I can't stand that either. Also when people draw hares as basically a bigger rabbit. Their heads aren't the same as rabbit-heads, people! *flail*

I have pretty much the same attitude towards folks who draw tanukis (raccoon dogs, Nyctereutes procyonoides) with rings on their tails.

raccoon dogs have a dorsal stripe on their tail that expands to cover the tail's tip -- there's no hint of the rings seen in Procyon lotor.

the common name "raccoon dog," is another source of confusion.
they do have facial and leg markings reminiscent of raccoons.
but that's just about the only thing the species have in common.

if that weren't enough perplexity, the Asian mainland raccoon dogs
have a different chromosome count than the Japanese varieties.
this may lead to Japanese tanukis and mainland raccoon dogs
being considered different species at some point in the future.

Oh god yes, SO MUCH YES o.o Raccoon dogs are NOT raccoons, people DX Just like when they draw raccoons as bears with masks on *facepalm*

Oh man I hate when people think raccoon dogs are raccoons, they are part of the Canidae family!

;w;

I suppose it's the fault of the name haha, since many people aren't meticulous about animals and classification.

it's a little pain to explain, but one of these days I'll come up with a nice, concise, and unmistakable answer to "what is a tanuki?" ^^

do you mean broken ears as in they are positioned wronged?
or just floppy?
because there are rabbits with floppy ears such as the holland lop rabbits...

i mean the ones that are half flopped like dog ears http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/1.....ing-rabbit.jpg
My current rabbit is a Holland Lop and I know about lop breeds, I'm talking about the ones where one ear is suppose to be half lopped and it looks like it's broken.

ahhh~ ok. yea I know what you mean lol that can be annoying xP
sorry! I wasn't trying to start anything I was just a lil confused ^-^;

It annoys me when it's unintentional.
If someone draws it and puts "yes I know they don't have" but has done it from choice I'm mostly okay with it.

I agree tho, sooo many people don't seem to get it

I don't mind as much if it's a cartoon style and they're putting in the common quirks of famous toon rabbits, it's more when the style is suppose to emulate the appearance of realistic animals.

Ya but even in more realistic art I don't mind it, personally x3 and to each their own, if they know it's wrong I figure that's okay

http://sighroll.com/wp-content/uplo.....oreyouknow.jpg

no, but seriously, thank :O
I wasnt aware heh ^^

BAAAAH PEOPLE PUT CANID NOSES ON EVERYTHING IT SEEMS. It really pisses me off. :C Rabbit noses are very unique! THEY MUST HAVE THEIR OWN NOSE! Just like bats. >8C

i know, I hate when I see rabbits with the round or an inverted triangular nose.


i love bat noses! It seems that about every bat specie has their own unique looking schnozzle.

Maybe some time ya should do a quick bunny tutorial. I plan to do that for bats, since so many bats are drawn as canids with broken wings. AHHHHHH

I was thinking about doing one in my spare time haha.
I would love to see it, even the fox faced bat's nose aren't canine looking, a quick comparison to a dog and bat and the differences arep pretty clear.

YA MUST! Any animal that has frequent problems when drawing it should have a mini tut on them. xD Or a big tut!

I plan to make mine large. >83 muahahaha. And yes, must focus on flying fox noses! as well as their head shape, since people get that wrong, too. AHHHH.

as far as I know, only the flying fox has a vaguely canid face.
the rest seem to have seriously interesting, smooshed-up muzzles and/or highly decorative noses.
am I right? :)

It may look it from a quick glance, but looking closer shows it's not at all.
There's eyes bulge out, their muzzle shape is more "round" in ways than a canid, their noses are tubes, not connected like a dog's, and so on.

Dog face: http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profile.....778659511b.jpg
One type of flying fox face: http://ferrebeekeeper.files.wordpre.....-athertonw.jpg
Fox face: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/34/1.....8c2c40696f.jpg

There's less of a slope to a flying fox face than a dog and fox, as well as having an arch on the top of their muzzle, unlike a canine (comparing the noses and the top of the muzzle, really)

This one looks closer to a weasel than a canine, too: http://www.backyardbuddies.net.au/i.....LRFF_Ricky.jpg

So when people draw flying foxes, or other bats, they need to make sure the type of bat they are going off of is correct in muzzle shape and nose shape and so on.

Also, there are many non-flying fox bats that have long snouts, too:

...I'm very much into bats. xD

their eyes bulge out*

WTF brain died. lol

thus, the "vaguely" mentioned in my comment. ^^

thanks for your time and effort in providing all these examples,
but I'm aware flying fox faces aren't really canid. :)

I do appreciate the examples of other vaguely canid bats a lot, though!

Ooh I love spectacled flying foxes <: they're so adorable

another bat species I can think of with a long snout is the Hammerhead bat, they're pretty neat looking!

Yes! I was going to use that one, but it eats fruits, and I was just finding insect/meat eating ones to show even non-fruit eaters have long snouts. xD

I've seen pictures of their flying foxes doing "echo location"... So I would comment on the images asking why? There are colonies most active at sun rise and set, but most are seen roosting in the day by locals but active mostly at night... They eat fruit... They cannot echo locate. And they drew their nose very wrong and gave them huge ears... @.@
Then you know what the person's reaction was? "I suppose you're going to tell me vampire bats don't suck blood either"... I did. I told him they don't suck blood. They make a cut and lap up the blood. If they sucked there would be less transfer of rabies and other diseases. Because they leave their saliva not just on the cut but all around. So live stock and other animals licking or grooming or whatever to each other increase the chances of disease spreading rather than the creature sucking and the wound being far more isolated. (I watch and study too much nature stuff)

I dislike people like that... they really don't look up the creature they are making a fursona on. PISSES ME OFF.

Thank you for knowing your facts on bats!

I agree sweetie 100% ^^

And thank you too!

I wasn't aware rabbits didn't have pawpads =o I learned something new today. I kinda forget about the nose though haha..

This, all of this.
I'm actually going to take some pix of my buns feet today.
He's all white, so to keep his fur from staining I wash them one a week.
I'm make sure to get a pic of them wet to show that there is no pad under the fluff.

well, there's my new thing learned for today! thanks!

I didn't know rabbits' toes were entirely fluffy.
I rather like that, really. :) will have to keep it in mind for the next time I draw a certain favorite bunny. :)

>3< that bunny is too cute

it really irks me when people draw like fish characters... with ears..........

You know, I read this at first and wondered what you were talking about, "fish with ears, that sounds silly!" Then I actually thought about it and it's true, you see a lot of them with like long ears, almost kinda elvish ears. I'd assume it would be OK for like mer people though.. I think...lol.

for mer people it makes sense but like on sharks and fish it's like.. why

Haha, I guess to maybe make them feel comfortable? Just like how I've seen hair on shark characters. Maybe seeing their bald non eared character makes them so uncomfortable they feel they need hair or ears.

honest question here, not trying to be an ass, but does this rule apply for you with kemonomimi and stuff?
...I guess kemonomimi is the right term?

uhhh if it's like a fish kemonomimi with obnoxious not fish ears yeah i guess? since kemonomimi usually have the animal ears and the tail sometimes other parts such as the paws on hands/feet etc

it just feels really out of place like i can understand fins but ears??? like... fins made to look like ears?? it feels very out of place on a design for me

that makes sense! I notice that I put pointy ears on aquatic characters 'cause it seems more streamline, though with a semi-flat human face it would sort of make that useless 'cause we don't have face build that can cut through water easy. rambling. SORRY.

Okay though. Question is sated with a good answer. Thank you. :3

no probs uvu

You're forgetting the laws of furry!

1: All animals are just dogs with different ears and colors. As such, they all have the same nose, feet, pads and even genitals as a dog.

2: References for an animal should always come from a cartoon, never nature. Disney and Warner Brothers are much more reliable than reality.

*ROFL* Oh you XD

oh god all this again.. I really do feel irked when people draw animals.. "off".. and then have the nerve to get pissed off when people correct them or get the species wrong.. " no it's not a bunny dog.. it's a bunny!" "no it's not a winged cat!.. it's a bat!" ... look.. if you refuse to make the character look a little more like the animal you choose it to be... then don't get all pissed off when people think it's something else! " hey!.. nice dog with bat wings!" " it's not!.. it's a bat!" " ............ nope!.. "

I don't get why that would irk you so much. The art work is mostly fantasy anyway. Besides, pawpads are cute. =3

Just because the characters are fantasy doesn't mean people should ignore an animal's anatomy. If they are drawing an animal without the intent of adding the cartoon quirks, they should do some sort of research on the animal.

Talking about detailed anatomy on a furry website? That simply doesn't exist. XD I could see your point if the artist was going for a more realist portrait of an animal to which proper anatomy is relevant. And I suppose it also depends on the artist.

It's not really detailed anatomy, just not something your typical furry has like a fox or cat. People who draw the kind of subject like animal/animal like things they should learn about the vast differences of species, not every animal looks like one another. It doesn't really matter if your style isn't overly realistic, you should learn about the animals that are the subject of your art. You'll be able to learn a lot more and become more diverse in what you draw. Just my 2 cents I suppose.

I see what you're saying. But I am not an artist so it may be difficult for me to understand. Being more knowledgable is a good thing, but at the same time if I don't see what's wrong it wouldn't bother me.

Think of it this way, I have been reading a furry webcomic recently that has a fox, a roo, a raccoon, a wolf, a cat and some other kind of dog. The only way I can tell them apart is the clothes they wear and the rings around the raccoon's eyes. It makes it hard to follow and generally annoying. If the artist bothered to do some research and incorporate some of the more obvious tell-tales into his own style, it would be much easier to follow and better from an artistic standpoint, as well.

If ya think they don't exist, ya haven't seen  goldenwolf's art. xD or many others. I watch many people who draw realistic anatomy for their furry characters, and, honestly, look like the best furry characters around. I, as well, do realistic anatomy and try to stay close as possible to the animal's specific parts.

Thanks for the tip! I didn't know about the paw pads..
What really irks me is when people believe/draw/roleplay wolves howling when they're upset or show emotion.. When that's not the case at all..
Also people believe/draw/roleplay wolves that bark...
Wolves do not bark.. They give a kind of yipping sound.. But they do not full blown bark..
When you watch videos of wolves, they are sometimes shown barking.. But that's not they're real voices at all, it's usually dubbed. (i know that from watching many videos of wolves with the same howling and sounds they make, it's like stock standard) And any kind of noises you do hear of their barking, is actually more of the yipping sound you hear instead..

if I'm wrong then that's fine, and I can be called out on it, but I'm pretty sure I'm right

Well just looked it up, they do bark but that is kind if considered a "yip" in my eyes as the bark isn't as full blown as a regular dog.. Hope people understand what I'm saying x.x

I had a wolg dog once that was more wolf that dog. Beautiful animal. I remember he tried to "bark" once and it was more of this ridiculous indescribable sound that no where near resembled a bark.

Exactly.. They don't really bark.. And my point was that it irks me when people think that they do =)

Oh it irks me too! XD

Glad it irks you too <3

Lol, I have a chihuahua who didn't know how to bark until my bigger terrier taught him, so instead of yipping like most chi's, he has this ridiculous sounding high-pitched ACTUAL bark.

D'aww The wolf dog I had did more of a weird "aaaraarworaaaraaa!"

I know this, but I still draw it. Why? Cuz I like how it looks. Also because if we're changing animals into human things, we've already broken the rules. No need to stick to those rules anymore. That's my opinion on it. I also own a rabbit, but I could care less.

The only not a rabbit thing that I draw is the huge fluffy tail. ticks me off to see dog noses and ads as well

Ah yeah that others me too, also owning a rabbit.

Like having slippers for feet! That's an interesting fact, thanks for letting us know

Leba is a rabbit and has those strange traits to her but only because I want her to have them to make her somewhat odd and different o.o I've owned rabbits in the past too, but Leba is a shifter of many forms as well =^w^= but I see where you're coming from lol I feel the same about this matter as well sometimes ^^"

Because I'm too frigging lazy to write what I already know @_@ Here...quotes and stuff...

Differences in Physical features:

There are several differences in the physical features of hares and rabbits that allow us to distinguish between the two.

Hares are generally larger and faster than rabbits.
Hares have longer ears and larger feet than rabbits.
Hares have black markings on their fur.
Rabbits are altricial i.e. they having young that are born blind and hairless. In contrast, hares are generally born with hair and are able to see (precocial). Young hares are therefore able to fend for themselves very quickly after birth.
A young hare is called a leveret and a young rabbit is called a kitten, kit, or, least correct but very commonly, a bunny.
Hares have very long and strong hind legs, more so than rabbits.
Rabbits and hares both molt and then grow new hair. This happens in both the spring and in the fall. Rabbits' brown summer fur is replaced with fur that is more grey. Hares, especially those living in cold, snowy regions, turn white in the winter.
Hunters say that hare has a much stronger, gamier flavor than rabbit (which actually does taste like a milder version of chicken).
Both rabbits and hares have short tails
Hares have not been domesticated, while rabbits are often kept as house pets.
All rabbits (except the cottontail rabbit) live underground in burrows or warrens, while hares live in simple nests above the ground (as does the cottontail rabbit). Rabbits also have their litters underground. Hares rely on running rather than burrowing for protection.
Rabbits are very social animals; they live in colonies. Male rabbits even fight within a group to become the dominant male. The dominant male rabbit then mates with most of the females in the area. In opposite, hares live most of the time by themselves. They come together in pairs for mating only. There is almost no fighting among hares - they just pair off.
Rabbits prefer soft stems, grass or vegetables; hares eat more hard food: bark and rind, buds, small twigs and shoots.

Similarities (so few):

Both rabbits and hares breed prolifically, bearing four to eight litters each year.
A litter of rabbits generally has three to eight young. They have a gestation period of about a month, are sexually mature in about six months, and live in the wild for about six years.
Although rabbits and hares are valued as game by hunters both for their food and fur, they are also pests to farmers and gardeners. They can destroy crops and trees.

Other stuff:

The Jackrabbit is actually a hare.
Rabbit's eyes are positioned on the sides, so they can cover larger areas. Rabbits can see behind them without turning their heads.
A male rabbit is called a buck, a female - a doe, babies - kittens.
Rabbit's eyes remain black when reflecting a bright light. In comparison human eyes appear red, cats and dogs - green, and deer eyes turn orange).

I actually knew more of this than I expected, but a lot I didn't know. I love learning new things!

I hate this, too. >:C I hate how everyone goes, "It has fur; it must have dog anatomy!" NO, not all animals are canid! DX My pet peeves are like this with rats. Rats don't have a "brow notch," they're plantigrade, have hands, not paws, etc.

Now, now, they don't always insist that furs must have dog anatomy. They often want to add horse cock onto anything that moves.

Bwahaha, good point.

THIS, also, the way people draw kangaroos/walabis. if you catch my drift.

You mean when they draw the penis above the testicles, instead of under them? Yeah. While from an aesthetic standpoint, it just looks more "normal" the way most draw it, but it's not right, and I think it adds an air of the exotic when drawn correctly.

Big pet peeve when it comes to kangaroos and walabis: The nose. OH GOD, THE NOSE! Please, no doggie noses on roos DX

Don't you just love when they make them digitgrade with paws? :D

wow, i had no idea o.o
