Summary

[edit]
Description

That part of the zoo immediately after the entrance is the petting zoo, where many of the 'lesser' animals are housed. This was my first sighting of the Holland Lop rabbit. This is a breed of rabbit originating in the Netherlands. The breed was recognized by the Netherlands' Governing Rabbit Council in 1964 and the American Rabbit Breeders' Association in 1979. They are popular house pets, and are very popular and competitive for show. They are also known for their sweet temperament and non aggressive behavior, though they retain a certain dog-like tenacity. (notice the spaniel like drooping ears?) Holland Lops have a stocky build, with a short, thick-set body, rounded haunches and short, strong legs. The head is broad with a strongly curved profile, and broad, thick tear drop shaped ears that hang down beside the head. The Holland Lops have a dense coat of soft, medium length hair.
