Rabbits
Only 2 out of eight legs on the ground :eek

If you put shagging rabbits or copulating rabbits into google images this image comes up and very worryingly there are between 5-10 people a day who google it. Not a great shot it is heavily cropped and was taken in really poor light through double glazing. It just amazes me the amount of people who google it every day. it is my most popular photo on flickr :

I reckon the underneath one is a female by the resigned look on her face!!!!

Glad to see you posted this one after the 9pm watershed! :jump: With a zimmer frame of course you would already have 6 of the eight legs required and the photographer probably wouldn't need such a fast shutter speed. :biggrin:

Nice cheery bedtime post Craig.

That certainly raised a smile. I am just wondering why anyone should be googling "shagging or copulating rabbits". Its not something that would spring to mind to google - well not my mind anyway :confused: Maybe I just lead a sheltered life :biggrin: :wink:

Rabbits doing what they do best, although to me the female looks somehow surprised.
