What is a Lionhead Rabbit?
Full of fluff and a lion-like mane surrounding the head, the lionhead rabbit is becoming a popular, sought out breed of rabbit by individuals as well as groups in the rabbit show circuit. It is unclear where the lionhead rabbit originated, though it is thought to be either Belgium or England. In either case, the lionhead was an accidental mutation, possibly from a mistake when breeding the angora dwarf rabbit, but it was a welcome mistake, and the lionhead rabbit quickly gained admiration for their unique appearance, friendly disposition, and ability to be trained. This occurred sometime in the 1990’s, making it the first rabbit mutation in almost 100 years.
