Yes, believe it or not there really is a rabbit underneath all that fur, although it seems to be having a very bad or very good hare day.

Like a giant dust bunny, Ida the English Angora is the proud owner of possibly the worlds longest or at least softest hair for a rabbit - which can get as long as 10 or more inches.Bred and coiffed by Betty Chu, professor emeritus at San Jose State University, the rabbits tour across the state for display in shows as part of the Northern California Angora Guild.Long famed and desired for their incredibly soft fur or wool, Chu uses scissors to shear her rabbits, never once harming her fluffy friends.Preparing the rabbits for display is an arduous and delicate task - and Betty uses a special brush and hairdryer that doubles up a vacuum cleaner to give added volume.Her rabbits hair grows back at the rate of one inch a month and she uses the wool that she gets from her rabbits for scarves, hats and gloves.Indeed, breeding the rabbits is Chu's passion and she doesn't make any money from it and is involved in it purely for the enjoyment she gets from them as pets.Angora rabbits are 'also very lovable, they can be litterbox trained like cats and they would follow owners like dogs,' she said according to The Huffington Post.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.az
