oolong, the pancake rabbit

i saw a picture of oolong with a pancake on its head a while ago, but I had no idea that the owner had a gallery pictures with this rabbit, balancing different things (especially foods) on his head. so cute! not surprised that the owner of oolong is japanese.

the pictures are really cute, but apparently the owner started getting harassing emails (especially from america) that accused him of animal abuse. an excerpt from the owner's message on his site, below:

"Some visitors have written me e-mails, accusing me of
being cruel to my rabbit and that I am abusing my pet. This was never my
intention when I included numerous links to photographs, showing Oolong's
unique ability to hold objects on his head. This is not a site to mock
rabbits, or demonstrate animal abuse. I'm sure you understand it if you see
whole my site.

Oolong is so calm and patient -- he never gets angry when I take pictures of
him. When I put various objects on his head, he stays still for a minute.
This is just a result of an intimate relationship between me and Oolong.
The main theme of my site is not to show these 'headperformance' links,
and it's not my hope to propagandize nothing but the strangeness of his
headperformance over the world. Oolong's headperformance-- many foreigners
seem to feel it 'crazy', but Japanese people feel it just cute and funny.
It is the difference of international feeling."

sadly, oolong has since passed, but has been replaced with yuebing, who has a smaller head for balancing but still does. ;) pics of him are below, enjoy!
