A Hopping Good Time at the Rabbit Grand National

Those wascally wabbits! Elmer Fudd would have had a field day on Saturday when Harrogate, England, played host to the 2012 Burgess Premier Small Animal Show and the Rabbit Grand National, a show jumping competition for Lop ears, Angoras, Sables, and more. Fortunately, these bun buns were under the watchful eye of rabbit-loving observers — more than 10,000 of them — as they leaped with effortless grace over jumps and obstacles. Check out all the long-eared, cottontailed action in our slideshow!
