While previous notes from Chicago have been a bit more serious, I had to send along a lighter side about Chicago's urban bunny population. And no, I am not talking about Mr. Hefner's Playboy bunnies, I am talking about real life Sylvilagus floridanus, or as more commonly known - rabbits!
It is fascinating to live in a city and realize that I have seen more bunnies than rats in my two and half months here. Sure, you expect them in the suburbs, but I see probably one bunny a week in the mornings on my walk to the"el", and have seen them a couple of places in downtown. Below are photos from Lurie Garden and my neighborhood of my new urban wildlife friends, and some links to other people talking about the phenomenon.
