  • Just wondering, are those a baby deer and an adult bunny? One of those pics was on another community and there's some debate, but I can't help thinking the deer's a little closer to faun than adult.
    Read more

  • The pictures weren't staged. The accompanying German text on these pages explains how the fawn's mother was killed shortly before it's birth and the fawn was then raised in a rural town with help from townspeople (this part is not so clearly explained). The wild rabbit showed up one day. At first the two just grazed in the same area and after a while got closer until they became "friends". They grazed together and kept each other company the whole day, the rabbit built a nest next to the deer instead of burrowing and other cute stuff like that. The author (who is also the photographer) mentions that the two could have formed this friendship to be able to better protect themselves from predators by warning each other and also the deer helped the rabbit have easier access to food in the winter.

    The rest of the story is available here in German.

    Spoiler:
    Eventually when the fawn was old enough it was sent to a park where it would be released into the wild. The second to last picture shown here, shows how after the fawn had been anesthetized for easier transport and despite strange humans being around, the rabbit went up to the deer and supported its sleepy head "as if it were saying goodbye"

    Read more

  • You're kidding?!!!!
    It died????

    Being the pet of 2 bunnies I know they have short memories and separating 2 rabbits doesnt appear to be as stressful (for the rabbits) as we think it is.

  • original text from the page of the photographer: "In der Nähe von unserem Garten lebt eine kleine Population von Wildkaninchen. Nachdem Finchen aus unserem Garten umgezogen ist, hat sich das Kaninchen dieser Gruppe angeschlossen". Translated from German it sais: "Near by our garden (the place where bambi - whose actual name is "Finchen" - once lived) there is located a small population of wild rabbits. Since Finchen has moved out of our garden the thumper has joined them." Happy ending! :)

  • I know it!!!! ^_^

  • The page also explains that they wanted to take the bunny along with the deer, but that it would have been a death sentence; in a strange territory he would not know any hiding places, and the first fox would have eaten him.

  • Oh, I am going to cry. Why on this planet are all beautiful things accompanied by such sadness? I hope someone took care of the rabbit after it lost its deer friend. I hope it's true that rabbits have short memories and that this adorable bunny didn't succumb to grief, but went on and returned to the other wild bunnies. Wish there was some follow up on this. I am so sad over this.
