Scientists Discover Evolved, Even More Unenthused, Breed

by Prongs on December 11, 2009

When our team engaged specimen (code name “Blow Dry”) with friendly snuggles and delicious alfalfa, specimen exhibited fascinating new “threatening” behavior.

Meet the Puffer Bun.

What’s it like living with Santa Claws, Hillary B.

Hare Ball.

Disapproval-powered hoverbun, ready for takeoff.

3 Olivier 12.11.09 at 3:58 pm

Holly molly !!! what a furry snow ball !!

4 Aleutie 12.11.09 at 4:03 pm

No wonder he’s so sullen, Santas’ school is about to make a couple of dozen beared from him.

5 nismo 12.11.09 at 4:04 pm

Whoa. It’s like a giant cottonball with a bunny head on it.

This is actually a photo from the archives of Princeton University… it shows “Corona”, physicist Robert J. van de Graaff’s pet rabbit. “Corona” is said to have been the inspiration behind Dr. van de Graaff’s pioneering work on static electricity.

Needless to say, “Corona” didn’t approve of any of it.

Best animal in the world.

8 DogEared 12.11.09 at 4:31 pm

hope somebody brought the extra-heavy-duty vacuum cleaner for lint removal. and extra bags.

9 Theresa 12.11.09 at 4:43 pm

@The Bug Man: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

10 O. cuniculus 12.11.09 at 4:56 pm

Giant Angora FTW!

11 gizmo 12.11.09 at 5:02 pm

Ah right, which one of you kids has been rubbing the bunny with your hair in order to charge him up with static electricity? And, no, you cannot stick him on the wall!

12 LS 12.11.09 at 5:26 pm

SCOOTER!

13 Dee 12.11.09 at 5:42 pm

Brush three times a day.

14 manic-pixie 12.11.09 at 6:01 pm

awww! Looks like a French angora. They may LOOK disapproving but angoras are the most loving bunnies – I dunno what I would do without mine.

15 Queen of Dork 12.11.09 at 6:18 pm

He looks like a cloud with a bunny head. When he hops, I wonder if he sort of floats over the ground for a while looking down with disapproval upon everything?

16 bea 12.11.09 at 6:18 pm

Sure it’s not a kiddie slipper?? Fluffily cute anyway!

17 Firestorm717 12.11.09 at 7:00 pm

OMG That reminds me of Bunnicula DX;

18 Random 12.11.09 at 7:14 pm

Lemme guess; he “purrs” when you pet him, when he eats too much, he divides into more of himself, and he hates Klingons?

19 AmyJ 12.11.09 at 7:39 pm

Perfect powderpuff! I’ll just dab my nose just so…!

20 Blondie 12.11.09 at 7:59 pm

Is that the end of the Jolly Green Giant’s Q-tip?

21 Jezebel 12.11.09 at 8:11 pm

Doesn’t everybody hate Klingons?

22 Fluffy 12.11.09 at 8:13 pm

The fluffiest post evah!
And yet, somehow still manages to be disapproving.

23 Juniper Jupiter 12.11.09 at 8:22 pm

Like Humphrey the Bear in the dryer!!!

PUH!!! :D

24 5^^now8ing 12.11.09 at 9:01 pm

bug man: Dr. van de Graaff would be so proud!

But I think Bea’s right — it’s really just a bunny slipper. We’ll only make Ralphie wear it when his auntie’s here.

25 jujube 12.11.09 at 9:12 pm

I was just wondering where I could find a big, disapproving, floofy puff for my bath powder.

26 victoreia 12.11.09 at 9:33 pm

Now, now, Klingons are people, too. (And I’d want Worf on my side in any fight…..)

27 Cathy 12.11.09 at 9:43 pm

It looks like a big fluffy Roomba the robotic vacuum that glides around the floor!

28 Wendy 12.11.09 at 10:51 pm

French Angoras crack me up – because yes it DOES look like you took a poof ball and stuck a regular bunny head on it! (Although this one probably has some English Angora in there because there is just the hint of ear floof)

29 SnuggleBunny 12.12.09 at 12:09 am

OMG! It’s a “Bunny Ball!” =) Sqeeeee!! My lop, Poppy starts to resemble this bun when she sheds her winter coat- tufts of fur sticking out EVERYWHERE! She looks redonkulous!

30 Heather in Oregon 12.12.09 at 12:27 am

This Bun knows what your thinking….clippers, my kingdom for some clippers, I could knit enough sweaters for all my kittehs….and Bun is very disapproving!
Viva la Fluff! Viva la revolution!

31 catloveschanel 12.12.09 at 2:17 am

@Cathy, you would sure need a roomba with that …. thing….
I have some boots like that, but their “faux”
little bunny foo faux

32 catloveschanel 12.12.09 at 2:19 am

they’re

33 catloveschanel 12.12.09 at 2:20 am

Then I hit submit too soon, and they’re all like, Calm Down button comes up

34 Rachael 12.12.09 at 4:10 am

Does it have feets? :)

35 jen 12.12.09 at 5:55 am

i’ve been struck speechless, yet i do sense bunneh’s anticipatory disapproval.

36 Queen of Dork 12.12.09 at 6:20 am

Puffer bun made me think of puffer fish. Who figured out which parts of the puffer fish you can and cannot eat? And how?

37 Laura 12.12.09 at 6:46 am

I just want to spin him into yarn and knit a sweater from him! Some angora buns actually enjoy it when someone spins directly from the bun!

38 SoCalSis 12.12.09 at 7:28 am

Looks like something out of My Neighbor Totoro. “Puffer Bun” had me giggling. Instead of pointy pricklies all over, this one’s got floofy fluffies– and I could just imagine the bun going from ‘normal bun size’ to PUFFER BUN in an instant when encountering disapprovable stimuli. BOING!

39 Rose 12.12.09 at 7:33 am

too much cute! *ded*

40 Timo 12.12.09 at 8:38 am

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. Better than he was before. Fluffier, snorglier, more disapproving.

41 J. 12.12.09 at 9:37 am

@Nikki: “Hare ball.” BRILLIANT.

It’s like someone took a Tribble and put rabbit ears on it.

So much for lettuce not making you fat.

42 T.U.M. 12.12.09 at 9:40 am

IZ NOT BUNNEH IS POWDER PUF

43 Paunchie 12.12.09 at 1:22 pm

What if we stuck him in Gertie’s baff? How widdul he prolly is under all that floof!

44 5^^now8ing 12.12.09 at 3:16 pm

SoCalSis — Hooray for My Neighbor Totoro!
Laura — how on earth does that work (spinning directly from the bunny)? Doesn’t it hurt when you pull?
catloveschanel — Little Bunny Foo Faux — loff eet!

45 Glitterfly 12.12.09 at 4:25 pm

Oh, look…it’s a bunny ball!

46 L 12.12.09 at 7:53 pm

Looks like a shogun, to me.

47 lilly 12.13.09 at 10:00 am

48 Laura 12.14.09 at 9:32 am

49 Fishy98 12.14.09 at 2:47 pm

One touch of that mysterious creature, and it’s 50,000 volts. Tazerbun.

50 Monterri 12.16.09 at 10:07 am

51 hollie 12.16.09 at 12:06 pm
