Cuniculus Disease Diseases Eyes Fatal Lagomorpha Oryctolagus Rabbit Rabbits Wild Rabbits Discharges Diseased Eyelids Infected Lesions Myxomatosis Ocular Subcutaneous Swellings Thickened
Caught in the Act - The Rabbit Edition of 'Puffy Eyes'
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a wild rabbit's comical struggle with an unfortunate case of myxomatosis. Aptly titled 'MAB-89', this snapshot taken by Mark Boulton showcases the late stages of the disease, specifically highlighting the swelling around our furry friend's eyes. With its eyelids thickened and ocular discharges adding to its woes, this European lagomorph becomes a poster bunny for resilience in the face of adversity. Despite being infected by the fatal myxomavirus, our brave little rabbit refuses to let it dampen its spirits. The subcutaneous lesions and unsightly swellings may have transformed our protagonist into a real-life cartoon character, but it remains undeterred from hopping through life with determination. This close-up shot allows us to marvel at nature's ability to adapt and survive even under challenging circumstances. Located in Cotswolds, UK - known for its picturesque landscapes - this photograph serves as a reminder that wildlife encounters can be both awe-inspiring and humorous. So next time you spot an adorable creature sporting some unconventional fashion choices (like puffy eyes), remember that they too are just trying to make their way in this wild world!
