  4. But what, no rabbits on the site?! I was hoping maybe, maybe, I would find here pictures by a long-dead Native American artist whose works I saw in a book years ago. Lovely, simple, spartan but confident paintings of rabbit stories (maybe jack rabbit). Sweet and elegant. I'm pretty sure it was a woman artist; can't remember her tribe - but probably a tribe that especially loves Rabbit. I have been looking all over for those paintings, that artist. You would love them! Is there any way you can find them??
    Your site is superb. Thanks!

  5. Thank you all for the comments.

    Dear Anonymous, Animalarium loves rabbits, just look under the tag "bunnies and hares". I am not familiar with the artworks you are describing, but if I find something out I will post it here.
