Bunny and Rabbit Coloring Pages

• Holland Lop: a small pet rabbit whose ears hang down beside its face
• Dutch rabbit: a white blaze on the face, a white band around the shoulders and a colored back half
• Angora: so much long, soft wool that it looks like a ball of fluff
• Flemish Giant: one of the largest breeds, as heavy as a medium-sized dog
• Lionhead: a mane of long fur around its head
• Cottontail: the wild rabbit of North American yards, named for its white puff of a tail
• Kits: baby rabbits, born without fur and with their eyes closed
• Hare: a larger cousin with longer ears and legs, whose babies are born furry with open eyes

A rabbit's teeth never stop growing, which is why it chews all day. Its eyes sit high on the sides of its head, so it can see almost all the way around and spot danger from behind. When a rabbit is happy it may leap and twist in the air, a move rabbit owners call a binky. A worried rabbit thumps a back foot on the ground to warn the others. And despite the cartoons, a healthy rabbit lives mostly on hay and grass. Carrots are a sweet treat.

Rabbits come in white, black, gray, brown, tan, cream and mixes of those. A wild cottontail is brown flecked with gray and black, with a rusty patch on the back of the neck, a white belly and that white tail. For soft fur, use the side of a colored pencil and work in small circles, then add a few short strokes on top. The inside of the ears is pale pink. Eyes are usually dark brown, with a white highlight to keep them bright.
