I'm posting again!!!

So I've decided that since I'm so bored all the time,

I'm going to do something to make the time go faster. . . Every day for the next 40 days, I'm going to pick 2 topics that I don't know much about and read up on them.

Then I'm going to blog 10 random facts about them right here.


The first two topics???

7. Keeping to it's name, the Giant Angora rabbit weighs the most out of the four different breeds, weighing an average of 9.9 pounds or more!

8. If not cared for properly, an Angora rabbit may develope a condition called "wool block" in which their innards become clogged with hair.

9. Not only is the English Angora rabbit the smallest of the four recognized breeds, but it also can be bred to have mulitple colors (ie: white with black spots).
