Despite initial concerns about his survival and hearing ability, owner Kylie Clarke, 31, has shared that Leo is thriving without ears and experiencing no setbacks.
A seasoned rabbit enthusiast revealed that she chose to adopt a charming bunny as her own companion after it was born without ears.
31-year-old Kylie Clarke, the owner of the dog in the photo, was concerned about his survival and hearing abilities due to his lack of ears. However, she stated that his earlessness has not had any negative impact on him whatsoever.
Little Leo, the adorable bunny, stood out from her eight siblings due to her unique feature of missing floppy ears. Kylie, from Belfast, Northern Ireland, was amazed by Leo’s appearance and decided to keep her as a pet while finding homes for the other bunnies. “I’ve never seen anything like it before,” Kylie expressed. She affectionately named the bunny Leo, comparing her to a mini lion. Reflecting on Leo’s birth, Kylie mentioned, “Once Leo was born I knew something wasn’t right, she didn’t look right. Then as she got older you could see that she’s been born with completely no ears.”
Kylie, a resident of Belfast in Northern Ireland, expressed her amazement, saying she had never witnessed anything quite like it. In the photo, little Leo can be seen.
The mother of four who manages the household has been breeding rabbits as a profession for over a year now. In the photo, Leo is seen cuddling with a teddy bear.
Leo is scheduled for a vet check this week, although she appears to be in perfect health. It is possible that her missing ears are the result of a genetic abnormality. The mother of four and homemaker has been breeding rabbits professionally for over a year now. Leo, a mix breed rabbit, was born six weeks ago.
“At first, I was really worried, but after doing some research, I realized how uncommon it is,” she said. “I have two daughters and two sons who are all fascinated by Leo’s unique feature. They see it as a miracle and she definitely gets more attention than the other rabbits.”
Despite not having a clear explanation for Leo’s missing ears, the breeder notes that she is happy and healthy overall. Leo is set to have a vet check soon to ensure her continued well-being. The possibility of a genetic defect could be the reason behind her unusual appearance.
