Portraits of other Pets

 

We love our pets, and In 2014 it is estimated that 13 million (46% of) households have them giving the total population at around 65 million, including fish. No wonder I am kept so busy. So far I have painted flesh and fur, but still hoping for feathers and fins.

Rabbits

Rabbits are usually silent but that does not mean that they have nothing to say. Body language is their primary mode of communication but they do make some vocalisations. In addition, rabbits are second language learners and can understand some human-speak. Their behaviour and communication methods have evolved from their wild ancestors responses to their place in the animal kingdom as prey animals, their collective socialisation patterns, and their individual dynamics of social behaviour.
