Have you heard about the Lionhead rabbit? This rabbit is named like this because some of his facial features resemble a lion’s. Even if this is the case, this rabbit is not as fierce and as aggressive as the lion. He is the total opposite. He is good-natured and friendly. So, there’s nothing to be afraid of adopting one. The only time when he might display aggressive behaviors is when he senses any threat around him. Beware because this rabbit is easily scared or startled. This is why he’s not yet recommended to be placed under the care of a small child.
The Lionhead rabbit is believed to be the product of the breeding of the Belgian or Angora Dwarf and the Swiss Fox rabbit. It was around the 1960s that they began to be seen in Belgium and France. The breeders at that time were astounded by the distinct features of this rabbit. Thus, they tried hard to keep and lock it that way.
To give you a better idea of what makes the Lionhead rabbit looks like a lion, it’s the longer mane (which can have a single or double layer) of fur around his head. If you’ve seen a lion before, you can compare their similarities. The Lionhead rabbit is available in different colors.
