Bunny is an object of affection for Animal. Animal first showed his affection towards bunnies in the Jim Henson Hour Pitch Reel, getting excited upon seeing pictures of the bunnies from The Tale of the Bunny Picnic. Animal's love of bunnies was mentioned in an interview, and a silent rabbit was later shown as a foil for Animal in several videos produced for Muppets.com. The rabbit was also glimpsed with Animal during the final number of A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa.
In 2023, to commemorate the Chinese Lunar New Year celebrating the Year of the Rabbit, Animal appeared in a video on the Muppets social media channels chasing and hugging two bunnies. (Twitter)
The puppet was the same design as that previously used for The Bun-Bun Brothers and other stylized bunnies.
In the Muppet Babies episode "My Buddy," it is revealed that Baby Animal has a stuffed bunny of a similar design named Buddy.
