Yes, believe it or not there really is a rabbit underneath all that fur, although it seems to be having a very bad or very good hare day.
不管你相不相信,那團毛球之下確實是一隻兔子,不知道它頂着毛團是有些煩惱還是很享受呢。

Like a giant dust bunny, Ida the English Angora is the proud owner of possibly the worlds longest or at least softest hair for a rabbit - which can get as long as 10 or more inches.
這隻英國安哥拉兔名叫艾達,它看起來像是家裏大掃除時常發現的大灰團,不過可能擁有着世界最長或至少是最柔軟的兔毛,毛長可達10英寸(約25釐米)以上。

Bred and coiffed by Betty Chu, professor emeritus at San Jose State University, the rabbits tour across the state for display in shows as part of the Northern California Angora Guild.
艾達在主人聖何塞州立大學退休教授Betty Chu的照料下,作爲北加利福利亞安哥拉協會的一員參加了在該州的巡迴展覽演出。

Long famed and desired for their incredibly soft fur or wool, Chu uses scissors to shear her rabbits, never once harming her fluffy friends.
長毛兔的毛特別柔軟,因而十分有名,深受人們喜愛。Chu教授用剪刀給兔子剃毛,一次也沒傷到她這些毛茸茸的朋友們。

Incredibly, while the rabbits hair literally engulfs it, the bunny itself weighs only six or seven pounds at max.
雖然蓬鬆的毛髮幾乎把它自己全給遮住了,但這隻小萌兔最重的時候竟然也才只有6、7磅。

Preparing the rabbits for display is an arduous and delicate task - and Betty uses a special brush and hairdryer that doubles up a vacuum cleaner to give added volume. Her rabbits hair grows back at the rate of one inch a month and she uses the wool that she gets from her rabbits for scarves, hats and gloves.
準備長毛兔展覽是一項十分費力且精細的工作。爲了更好地來清理兔子的毛髮,除了吸塵器,Betty還會使用特製的毛刷和吹風機。這種兔子的毛髮每月能長1英寸,Betty會把剪下來的毛做成圍巾、帽子和手套。

Indeed, breeding the rabbits is Chu's passion and she doesn't make any money from it and is involved in it purely for the enjoyment she gets from them as pets. Angora rabbits are 'also very lovable, they can be litterbox trained like cats and they would follow owners like dogs,' she said according to The Huffington Post.
飼養這些兔子是Chu的愛好,她只是希望從飼養這些寵物中獲得樂趣,而非賺錢。而且安哥拉兔“也十分可愛,它們經過訓練後可以像貓一樣使用貓砂處理大小便,還可以像狗一樣親人,”她這樣和赫芬頓郵報說道。
