Oh, I did not know that! Thanks!

The House Rabbit Society has fun facts:

Rabbits are very social creatures that always choose to live in groups when given the chance. A warren is the name given to the place where a fluffle lives. Some people also call a group of rabbits a colony.

Like cats, happy rabbits purr when content and relaxed. The sound is comes from teeth chattering softly.

I don't know why you'd say colony when fluffle is an option.

[-] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 7 points 1 year ago

Yes, fluffle should be the goto word!

If you're bald, you should draw rabbits on your head. From a distance they might look like hares.

Is a kerfuffle a rabbit fight?

[-] martinb@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

If not, it should be. 🤣

Those aren’t wild rabbits.

[-] Facelikeapotato@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

But they are very cute.

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

That much is indisputable.

Not according to Wikipedia, sadly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animal_names

It is on the Wiktionary though, weird. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/fluffle I don't think it's a commonly used word, like colony is.

my favourite related turn of phrase I saw once: "a gaggle of journalists"

I thought this was a plate of fried shrimp in the thumbnail.
