Issaquah The Land Of Tigers And Lions, That Is Lionheads
Who would believe it? Bears sure. Tigers of course. In the Cougar Mountain Zoo. But Lions no. Lionheads yes. What is a Lionhead you ask? I didn’t know until I visited the Issaquah Grange Supply. There I saw a Lionhead. He was cute. He was friendly. I discovered that there is a breed of rabbit named Lionhead. They have one there to see. He was really a neat discovery. Go take a look. He is in a cage near the front. Unlike the two tigers at the zoo, you can put your hand in this cage.
PS: I also found out there is belief the the Naples the Staples Rooster is an escapee from the Issaquah Grange Supply. Lar
PSS: For your education and satisfaction – from WikiPedia:
Lionhead rabbit is one of the newest breed of domesticated rabbits. It has particularly long hair surrounding the face, reminiscent of the mane of a male lion, hence the name. Other characteristic traits of the lionhead include a rounded head and small size, usually between 2.5 and 3.5 pounds. It also tends to have slightly shorter ears than most breeds.
The Lionhead rabbit originated in Belgium. It is reported to have been produced by breeders trying to breed a long coated dwarf rabbit by crossing a miniature Swiss Fox and a Belgian dwarf. The Lionhead seemed to have been more popular than the long coated dwarf, and so breeders carried on this trend in breeding them intentionally, and so came what we know today as the Lionhead rabbit.
