All Rabbit Breeds

Rabbits are small cute furry critters found in several parts of the world. There are eight different groups within the rabbit family, including the European rabbit, cottontail rabbits, and the Amami rabbit (an endangered species in Japan). The only rabbit to be widely domesticated is the European rabbit, which has been extensively bred for food and as pets. Rabbits were first widely kept in ancient Rome and they were refined into a wide variety of breeds during and since the middle Ages.

Suri alpacas have unique fiber characteristics that distinguish the Suri from the rest of the camelid family. Unlike the soft fuzzy look of the Huacaya alpaca, the Suri''s long, separate, distinctive locks are comprised of twisted or flat fibers that drape down the sides of the Suri''s body. The Suri''s fiber has a cool, slick handle or feel, can be as soft as cashmere, warmer than wool, with the luster of silk. Suris comprise about 15% of the US alpaca population.
