Sometimes nature works in its own mysterious ways and the things that we can never imagine happening, they happen most weirdly. Ears are the most distinct feature of rabbits and it is hard to imagine them without this body part.

“Once Leo was born, I knew something wasn’t right, she didn’t look right. Then, as she got older, you could see she’s been born with completely no ears.”

“I was really scared at the start, but when I started doing a bit more research, I realized it’s so, so rare to happen, but it can happen. As far as I’ve researched, there’s no spot-on explanation, really. She’s otherwise happy and healthy,” Kylie said.
