The book tells of a bad little rabbit who is fired upon by a hunter and loses his tail and whiskers.

The format was unpopular with booksellers, and eventually reprinted in the standard small book
Domestic rabbit generally, especially domestic ones. More recently, the term "kit" or "kitten" has been used to refer to a young rabbit. A young hare is called a "leveret"; this term is sometimes informally applied to a young rabbit as well. A group of rabbits is known as a "colony" or a "nest". The study of rabbit genetics is of interest to fanciers, the fiber & fur industry, medical researchers, and the meat industry. Among rabbit fanciers, the genetics of rabbit health and diversity are paramount. The fiber & fur industry focuses on the genetics of coat color and hair properties. In
