Lumpy and Long Ears, yes, they are rabbits

Here we have Lumpy and Longears,

Don't eat all the carrots, I will be out in a minute,

But it is safe and comfy in the hut!

Who has got the longest ears?

Both now chomping the carrots,

See you next Sunday!


Rabbit factoid

Although typically very quiet, rabbits do communicate vocally, with varying types of vocalisations communicating different messages, e.g. low humming when running around an individual is a signal of affection.

Dougal dog by the River Spey

Hi, I am Dougal

Out with my pal

Come on, let's go!

I did get a bit mucky, but I can get clean and cosy by the stove.

Dougal's view

Dougal Factoid

The main character in The Magic Roundabout is Dougal (Pollux in the original French-language version) who was a drop-eared variety of the Skye Terrier.  In the French version, Dougal/Pollux is a British character who speaks somewhat broken French with an outrageous English accent. His sweet tooth, shown through his fondness for sugar lumps, was based on a French belief that one of the traits of the English is a liking for sweets.
