Lagomorphs















Lagomorph (ˈla-gə-ˌmȯrf) 
of the mammalian order made up of the relatively well-known rabbits and hares (family Leporidae) and also the less frequently encountered pikas (family Ochotonidae). Rabbits and hares characteristically have long ears, a short tail, and strong hind limbs that provide a bounding locomotion. In contrast, the smaller pikas have shorter, rounded ears, no external tail, and less-well-developed hind limbs associated with scampering locomotion.

He is stunning. I didn't know exactly who or what Coal was when I heard you refer to him on FB. Love the name too!
We go to PF in Woonsocket by the way.

I bun-napped Coal. He wasn't being taken care of very well. However, I kind of have my reservations about it still - $$$$ still needs to get fixed. But, I couldn't leave him there...ya know?

I had a feeling he would end up with you from the way you were talking that night at Panera.
