I'm going to Vegas for the annual Golf Debacle in a month or so. There will be very different rabbit picture opportunities. (I know I have a photo of a swarm of the funny looking critters on a green somewhere, but it's not on this computer. It might even be a film picture, for that matter.)
P.S. J—, he's no doubt frustrated by the fact that a little bit of thaw gave him some gnarly grass to gnaw on a freezing February night, but now it's all covered in snow again. ~
“These are zorbs – giant, glowing spheres,” Chernyshenko explained, in tones reminiscent of a carnival barker. A photograph of sparkling globes flashed on a screen next to the stage. The slide changed, and the Sochi.ru logo appeared on the screen.
“The zorbs reflect the all-important dot in the Sochi 2014 emblem,” said Chernyshenko. “So everything is very much linked and connected.”
(The word, by the way, appears to originate with a New Zealand company, Zorb, which has cornered the market on hurtling people down hills in giant hamster balls).
More precisely, the Zorb is a giant water-filled hamster wheel. Or half-filled. By all accounts it is like being in a transparent spherical washing-machine on Spin cycle, but with scenery rushing past. People seem to enjoy it.
On another note, I do think the bunny looks a little funny (short ears, back feet, etc.).
I will not malign the poor critter and suggest that he/she/it/rabbit is the product of breeding with OTHER RODENTS, but I do suspect the gene pool around here is somewhat limited, what with all the parking lots, I-70, and such as.
I was amazed the first time I saw rabbits out here at night (and they are nocturnal, not crepuscular, based on my observations). ~
According to Whackypedia, the male's scrotum is in front of the penis (unlike rodents', which is behind); and the penis contains no bone (baculum), unlike in rodents.

There's a frustrated painter in that rabbit's eye! I can see him and his little mustache!

Maybe he'll cut off his ear!
He's not got much to cut off, by bunny standards.

What hops in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
I believe "Church of the Rabbit Orbs" was the original working title of this song.
Zorbs!
Zorbs are awesome.
Also, imagine I animated a zoom-in on the bunny eye, which revealed Hitler and then KEPT ON ZOOMING TO REVEAL ANOTHER BUNNY!
One word: Zorbs.

A pause.
“You will understand it later,” he said.
Thanks for the link, J—.
As Mister McGravitas stated, Awesome!

that rabbit is a little evil looking.

Outside my apartment building, that's where!

I hope you caught the Zorbs in the closing ceremony.
get Wallace and Grommit on it - STAT
Bunnies is lagomorphs, not rodents. Hmmph.
According to Whackypedia,
the male's scrotum is in front of the penis (unlike rodents', which is behind); and
the penis contains no bone (baculum), unlike in rodents.
I do not intend to test these assertions.
