Lionhead rabbit

[2] The Lionhead rabbit has a wool mane encircling the head, reminiscent of a male lion as its name implies.

Other Lionhead characteristics include a high head mount, compact upright body type, short well-furred 2- to 3+1⁄2-inch ears, and a weight of 2.5 to 3.75 pounds.

[3] The Lionhead rabbit originated in France and Belgium; although it is not recognized by the French Federation of Cuniculture.

In 2013 the Lionhead was accepted as a recognized breed by ARBA in two varieties: Tortoise and Ruby-Eyed White.

Typically, the Lionhead breed is represented by approximately 300-500 entries and 50-80 exhibitors from all over the United States and Canada.

In most cases the Lionhead is a friendly and well mannered pet, although they can be quite skittish if they don't feel safe.
