Rabbits Foot - Rabbit Night and Light - News - Wild Poppies - Broom

April 18, 2017 03:06 - 14 minutes - 13.6 MB

The Rabbit's Foot So why are rabbits thought to be lucky? One explanation has to do with their ability to jump, and it’s the reason some folks carry a rabbit’s foot – it represents leaping into the future and moving forward in life.  Others carry a rabbit’s foot to ward off arthritis and rheumatism Experts cannot agree why the rabbit's foot has become synonymous with good luck.  The superstition that a front paw—or a hind paw— of a rabbit can bring good fortune is so old that its origins...

Japanese Rabbits (Part 1) Interview with Yudai Tanabe Rabbit Island:   When I think about Japan and rabbits the first thing that comes to mind for me is the video's of Rabbit Island.  As islands that are occupied by wild animals go, Okunoshima, better known as Usaga Jima or Rabbit Island, is probably the cutest.  Ōkunoshima (大久野島?) is a small island located in the Inland Sea of Japan in the city of Takehara, Hiroshima Prefecture.   It is accessible by ferry from Tadanoumi and Ōmishima.  T...

AlTex Rabbit - Imported - Kale

January 18, 2017 03:44 - 21 minutes - 15.7 MB

In this episode we discuss the Altex rabbit. When I first encountered this breed, I guessed that it had been developed in Texas, based on the name, but in fact, this was only partially correct.   The Altex Rabbit is currently an unrecognised breed in the United States.  Although this is a relativly new breed, and a commercial breed, many of the commercial breeds are still recognized breeds.  Again, the Altex Rabbit is a relatively new breed, produced for meat and not recognised as a show ra...
