I was jogging along a path that winds into a valley out behind my house yesterday afternoon. About a half mile in I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye and turned to see a small rabbit hopping along. My first thought was if that rabbit didn’t move I would not have seen him. Also, that white tail: when a rabbit hops the white tail bobs up and down and flashes like a fishing lure. What is the evolutionary significance of a white tail in a low grass and shrub environment where the colors are mostly muted earth tones like browns and greens? Doesn’t seem to be a propagation proponent. But one attribute of cancer is uncontrolled growth and we are talking about rabbits here. I’ll venture a guess and say they’ll be just fine.
