Bun Alert System

805 readers
1 users here now

A place to alert others/be alerted of bun sightings.

The smoler the bun the better, please see this for an explanation: https://xkcd.com/1682/

RULES:

  1. Be kind to each other. Buns are cute, cuddly, and nice. Be like buns.

  2. Posts should be images of buns doing bun things. Bun things include eating, chilling, playing, hopping, and sleeping. You wouldn't want to be alerted of a capybara doing calculus through the Bun Alert System, would you? For other bun discussion, see some other communities below.

  3. Images should be of living, healthy, happy buns. The Bun Alert System exists to bring smiles to bun enjoyers around the world, not sour frowns.

  4. Keep it suitable for all bun enjoyers. Nothing too freaky or NSFW.

  5. With respect to this community, moderators are the smolest buns. Please shoot us a message if you have questions or concerns!

From National Fish and Wildlife Association

A resident of bottomland hardwood forests, the swamp rabbit has an unusual superpower. As the largest cottontail on the planet, their size and buoyancy make them excellent swimmers. When encountering danger, these clever floofs evade predators by hopping into water and swimming away. And they're just as speedy out of the water. Consider them the triathletes of the Mississippi Valley!

To thrive, the swamp rabbit needs large, contiguous forest patches and close proximity to wetlands. That's why we work to restore, enhance and conserve bottomland hardwood forest and wetland habitat to benefit wildlife in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley.

Bonus little video from PBS supposedly capturing the first ever footage of one swimming.
