My heart goes to that lil fella. Still hoppin around the bunny trail. Absolutely pitiful for the rabit. Tracey. BTW great shot

This might be congenital (born that way ...) or the result of a close call with something that saw this little guy/gal as a meal. Since both ears seem to be missing, I would guess its likely the former. He doesn't appear the worse for it but it must be a bit of a disadvantage. Good shot! - Dave

Poor baby but I agree with everyone else- doesn't seem to hinder it in any way whatsoever. Very nice shot of it too.

sometimes a mother rabbit will actually chew off the ears in error when they are babies.. i know it sounds icky, but it happens...

I would have shot this as quickly as possible myself. To heck with rules. It's the capture you want. Poor bunny. Must be a birth defect or maybe something grabbed him by the ears and he had to leave them behind. I read an article recently on a horse that had no ears and it was really in trouble with the other members of the heard because horses communicate by the positioning of their ears. I wonder about the rabbit. Nicely focused shot. Good capture.

Now Linda, this is interesting! What a cute lil guy. I think he's adapted to his disability. Probably born that way.Hope the other bunnys don't make fun of him :( Very good clear capture. He stands out hoppingly in the bright green grass. Thanks for this interesting piece of natures work :*>
