    I think you're right on the rabbit thing, the rear legs appear to be longer than the front ones which is a characteristic of a rabbit.

Also look at the leg structure of the animal, the legs are too stout for the body of that animal to be any sort of K9. I think it might be some type of calf, except there is that weird tale. It must be some weird type of exotic animal. :?:

    Those are definitely not hooves. You can see the claws there if you look, and the hair between the pads as metioned.

    Have you ever seen a flemish giant rabbit? Those suckers are HUGE. Rabbits also can have a tail that is fairly long like that. It is my opinion that it is just that... a big bunny.

    I'm not going to touch this debate, but isn't that animal WAY too big for that snake? Surely it regurgitated after it got it down. In both the pic of the rock and the burm.

    Larger boids are able to take down extremely large meals well. If I had to feed our giants a prey item that was only as big as there widest part I would be screwed! lol
    The whole rule of thumb differs between keepers.
    Whoop I hear another debate coming on

    PS We vote that the above picture is a medium sized albino burm eating a small pigmy goat.

    FWIW, I think it's a hare, though a rabbit is also likely. The difference between the front and back legs and between the smooth top and fluffy underside of the tail reinforce this.

    Personally, I think the animal in the Burm pic is a flemish rabbit. Google it for awhile and that's what matches up best, in my opinion.

    Capybaras are scary. There's something about a 100 lb rodent that just isn't right.
