Even though I have lived among rabbits for 27 years, they can be very secretive. Rabbits are notoriously tight lipped about their adventures. And of course, it was not possible to verify any details. The pictures you see here are models, who agreed to stand in for their brethren. The East Rabbits are very protective of their identity, and I don't know anyone who has ever seen one, much less photographed them.
Rabbits are a curious bunch.
They always have to look around to see who's coming and who's going. When Magellan sailed around the world, you can be sure that there were rabbit sentinels, watching from every shore. On the American continent, the first to see Eric The Red and later Columbus and his crew was the East rabbit. Actually, East was the family name, as there were a whole succession of East Rabbits living along the East Coast. Probably true for other continents, but my sources won't say.
