The Invisible Rabbit Invisible rabbits Lepus Invisibili do exist, however the name is misleading. The rabbit is not really invisible. The rabbit’s fur reflects light and UV rays making the rabbit appear invisible. The fur of these rabbits is more like optic fibers than fur which is why it reflects light. When one looks at an invisible rabbit, it cannot be seen because of the way the fur reflects light. A person sees around the rabbit and cannot see the ground or anything that is under the rabbit. Many people have had invisible rabbits in our house and not even known it, however the evidence is around if people just pay attention. One sign of an invisible rabbit in a person’s home is the fact that when a person is searching for an item and cannot find it; when they do it is at a place they have looked before .It had been at that spot the whole time only it could not be seen because the invisible rabbit was sitting on the item. Of course the rabbit is not really invisible; if it were a person could see the item. Its fur simply reflects the surrounding light. People have all seen a person trip when nothing was there. Nobody trips for nothing, and when people think that a person tripped over their own feet, it was actually because that person tripped over an invisible rabbit. Invisible rabbits also knock things in one’s home over. People have had stuff knocked off shelves and cabinets for what they think are no reason. There is a reason; it is almost always an invisible rabbit that has gotten in to one’s home. The invisible rabbit will also set security lights off. The fur reflects light so they cannot be seen by the human eyes or a camera; however they are solid so they are able to set off motion detectors. Thousands of people are hurt each year because of falls most of which are caused by invisible rabbits. The invisible rabbit is a cross between a Hare and a rabbit making it a hybrid. The average life span in the wild is between fifteen and twenty years. The invisible rabbit has been known to weigh up to twenty pounds. They are speedy animals capable of reaching 40 miles an hour, and their powerful hind legs can propel them on leaps of more than ten feet. They use these leaps and a zigzag running style to evade one of their only predators which is snakes. Invisible rabbits give out large amounts of heavy body heat which makes them easy prey for snakes and especially pit vipers. However, unlike most rabbit, these rabbits are omnivore eating almost anything they see. These rabbits seek out habitats on the fringes of open spaces, such as fields, meadows, and farms, but can adapt to other habitats—including those of humans. They browse at night on grasses and herbs and are fond of garden fare such as peas and, of course, lettuce. In winter, their diets consist of bark, twigs, and dead animals, and they have even been known to kill and eat sleeping snakes. In late fall, the invisible rabbits have been known to eat three times their own body weight in one day. This is to build up body fat for the winter when there is less food In California and Pennsylvania, these rabbits can glow a green color in the dark because the rabbits are able to consume large amounts of the Jack-o- lantern mushroom. The gills on the underside of the mushroom glow green in the dark; this mushroom is poisonous. (Viess) For some reason the mushroom has no effect on the invisible rabbit. This makes the smaller invisible rabbit’s easy prey for large Owl’s Invisible rabbits are different from other rabbits because they mate for life, if something happens to one mate, the other one will never mate again. The male has a mating call that sounds like a cross between a Blue Jay and a Robin that can be herd for miles. The male invisible rabbit has been known to call out for days without food or water to find a mate. When the female accepts the male’s call she will release a strong scent that to human’s smells like vomit; however the male finds this pungent smell irresistible. The male rabbit can smell this scent at distances of up to two miles. As soon as the male picks up on the female’s scent he will run at full speed till he finds her. Once the male finds the female he repeats the mating call to reassure the female that he is the one that she chose. If this is not the correct male, the female will spray urine, causing the male to leave. However, if he is the male that she has chosen, she will make a series of clicks of acceptance, and the male will let out a low growl like that of a domesticated cat. This is to let the other rabbits in the area know that the female is now spoken for. When invisible rabbits are born, they are almost always solid white, which is why it is believed that the invisible rabbit is closely related to the snowshoe hare. When the young pups are born, their eyes are open and they are fully developed. The pups only need breast milk for the first two months of life, and after that, the male rabbit will teach the pups how to find their own food. The first litters are born around the middle of May. The young will stay with the mother about two years, and then they will start looking for a mate. After leaving the nest, the offspring have been known to go back to the den that they were born in with their offspring as to show the parents that they are doing well. Some have even been known to bury their dead. However, the reason is unclear. The most logical reason is that it is to keep predators away Invisible rabbits live throughout the world. Invisible rabbits are a serious threat to gardens and crops and do considerable damage to flowers, vegetables, trees, and shrubs any time of the year in places ranging from suburban yards to rural fields and tree plantations. As the dollar value of the plants or commodities produced increases, it is important to carefully examine adequate invisible rabbit exclusion as a long-term investment in protecting these products. In addition, proper inspection and maintenance of fencing is critical to exclude invisible rabbits and other wildlife from an area. The Invisible Rabbit Center of Wildlife Damage Management provides several good designs for exclusion fences. Coupled with frightening techniques -such as scarecrows and motion detection sprayers- and regulated hunting where possible, good fencing designed to exclude all wild life is perhaps the best method to achieve adequate damage management for high value crops. Frightening techniques are generally used to protect small areas ‘such as garden plots. Another way to keep the invisible rabbits away is to plant spearmint. Invisible rabbits hate the smell and will stay away as long as the plant alive Invisible rabbits can be very destructive in gardens and landscaped places. This is particularly true where wild or uncultivated lands border residential zones, parks, greenbelts, or other landscaped places. Open lands such as uncultivated, wild areas provide resting and hiding cover during the day within easy travel distances to prime, irrigated food sources. The invisible rabbits tend to concentrate in favorable habitats such as bushy fence lines, brush, junk piles, thickets, field edges, and landscaped back yards where food and cover are suitable. Even though these rabbits are few in numbers, they can still be found in urban areas and can fill any empty habitat created when other rabbits are removed. They will sometimes occupy empty burrows excavated by woodchucks or other animals. The underground dens are primarily used in cold and wet weather. In early spring and in the fall they will often use grass and weed shelters. Invisible rabbits spend their entire lives in an area of about two square miles. The name is misleading however invisible rabbits Lepus Invisibili do exist the fur of these rabbits is more like optic fibers than fur which is why it reflects light. A person sees around the rabbit, and cannot see the ground or anything that is under the rabbit, because their fur mirrors the surroundings. Chameleons change their color and the snowshoe hare changes it fur from white in the winter to brown in the spring and summer. Almost all animals use some type of camouflage to protect them from praetors, the invisible rabbits fur changes as they get older, becomes more like optic fiber than fur, therefor its fur mirrors the rabbits surroundings this is possibly the best camouflage in the animal kingdom.
