Easter is hopping ever closer and
this week I thought about Easter Art maybe eggs, baskets, the crucifixion, crosses, lilies.
I went looking for Easter Bunnies and then in the midst of my bunny hunt I came
across a Beatrix Potter illustration of The
Tale of Peter Rabbit.
Beatrix Potter - Peter Rabbit
Rabbits!
Rabbits are Leporidae which are in
the family group known as Lepus. Lepus means “hare” and Leporidae means “those
that resemble hares”.

Rabbits have four toes on each hind foot
and five toes on each fore foot. The soles of their feet are covered in hair to
provide traction on grass when they are running.
They can be found in deserts, mountains,
tundra, swamps and forests. They are herbivore except for a select group of Lepus.
El Conejo - Spanish

Cuniculus - Latin
