Getting Along 7-09-24

Rabbits and Groundhogs are both notoriously nervous critters that will spook easily when other critters of not-their-kind come near them. However, our resident bunny and at least one of our resident groundhogs seem to tolerate each other extremely well. I was surprised to see them graze this close together. Both also saw me photographing them and weren't bothered. They just went about their business as if I wasn't there.

I find animal behavior fascinating, especially when it's not the expected and sweet like this.

A nice "two for the price of one" shot Liz.

I think they get used to other things in their environment to a degree. I was often surprised how close our rabbits would let Emma and me get to them before they took off. Rabbits make great photo candidates. I love seeing this great capture of this interaction.

Now, if you could only coax the Republicans and Democrats to get along.
An amusing and cheerful photo.
