I couldn't catch a decent shot with this guy in motion, but he had some freaky long legs.
Oh and notice the wrinkling in the picture? It's the only time I've ever seen this happen. Anyone know what caused it?

Wow that thing looks really weird. Like a dog/horse(ish) face/rabbit. Nice shot though.

I second the possible hare... face is narrow like a hare. Also, the nose just looks wrong to be a bunny. I could be wrong though.

edit: found this pic of a brown hare http://www.kevindurose​.co.uk/images/pboro/ha​re_jul04b.JPG (external link)

Hmm, I kind of assumed that it was shot in a zoo, but I've seen several articles about people having them as pets in the US, so I suppose it could manage in the wild.

LOL yes it was in a zoo. I think you did ID it properly.
