The Bunnies

As promised, I've checked on the bunnies in my yard. They are still there. One of them is very restless. He/She is moving around a lot. Their mother might have come back in the night, but I am not sure.

Baby Rabbits

My brother noticed something strange in the backyard today. He went up to a patch in the ground and discovered some baby wild rabbits!!! There are three of them, all lying next to each other.
After some research, we learned that the mother comes back at night to feed them. Aren't they cute?! I will update about their status tomorrow.
