@Roberta,
Two fighting rabbits. I would have never expected this but the natural world is always full of surprises. Smile

from sfgate day in pictures -

It's a porkeroo! A kangaswine? Hog hopper? If they can cross a zebra with a donkey, why not a pig with a kangaroo? (Berlin Zoo keeper Mario Gruesser says this is a baby aardvark, not a hybrid anything.)

A Baja Adventures guest swims with a young whale shark near Las Animas Wilderness Lodge in the Sea of Cortez in Mexico. The Sea of Cortez is one of the few places in the world where whale sharks congregate predictably. They start showing up in the summer and then the peak season for whale shark-watching is from September until the end of October. Whale sharks are the largest sharks and the largest living fish species. The largest confirmed whale shark was over 40 feet in length, and the heaviest weighed 79,000 pounds.

@tsarstepan,
Swimming with a shark?!!!Shocked I am guessing this kind of shark doesn't eat people?

@djjd62,
If rabbits only know how to twitter when they will be hanging around the neighborhood that would be convenient.

@Arella Mae,
Arella Mae, Whale sharks are the largest fish in the ocean. They can be fifty feet long, or more. And they eat the smallest thing in the ocean--plankton. However, they are not harmless. A swoosh from their tail or a bump can cause serious damage. I saw a film of divers swimming alongside a whale shark. The shark bumped one of the divers who lost consciousness.

@Roberta,
I can imagine how dangerous that can be. That woman being killed by the Orca whale was a good indication of how dangerous any wild animal can be.

Djjd needed to be reminded to bring his camera on his walks so he could document the neighborhood wabbits. I thought it would be a neighborly thing for the wabbits to take up the social networking habit and twitter their every move and thusly remind DJ to bring his camera.

@tsarstepan,
Yes...I know.

But we bunnies are consumed by higher things than twittering.
