That's only because he's a cottontail. We took him in because he had NO common sense at all and wasn't afraid of anything. His mother tried to kill him (bite we had to tend to) and the vet confirmed that he had a penis and two vaginas (one on either side). He just turned six on Wednesday and he's still a major cuddle.

Note: If you're law enforcement, fuck off. I'm not giving up the rabbit.

Maybe the Science people are trying to copy us.

The Lounge has more power then we think.

Fossils in flagrante delicto: Turtles' sex act frozen in time

Scientists say it's first known case of vertebrates seen copulating in the fossil record



These fossils represent one of nine mating pairs of the extinct turtle Allaeochelys crassesculpta found at the Messel Pit fossil site in Germany. The male (to the right) is about 20 percent smaller than the female.

Fossil turtles have been caught having sex, the first known case of animals with backbones found copulating in the fossil record, researchers say.

The mating turtles may have been caught in a death trap as they sank to deeper layers of the lake, where they were having sex nearly 50 million years ago, the researchers speculate. The lake's deep layers may have held deadly volcanic gases or other toxins.

Scientists made their discovery at the Messel Pit in Germany, which once was a deep volcanic crater lake in a wet, tropical environment. The pit was a quarry originally mined for the oil in the shale there, but over the years, it has become the richest site in the world for understanding the living environment of the Eocene, the epoch between 57 million and 36 million years ago when mammals began conquering the planet. Animals there included early horses, reptiles, primates, honeybees, giant ants and countless birds and bats.

Caught in the act

Researchers focused on 47-million-year-old specimens of an extinct turtle (Allaeochelys crassesculpta) found at the pit. These were rather small turtles, about 20 centimeters (8 inches) long.

some fellas have enough trouble aiming just the one.

He sure looks proud of it, though.
