| Caption | Rabbit or Coney. The Rabbit is too well known to need description of its habits or appearance. It is partially nocturnal in its habits, emerging from the burrows to feed in the evening and morning, but it may be seen at almost any time of day. It is very prolific, and in an open season will produce four or five litters a year. These are not placed in the ordinary burrow, but the mother makes a separate one at some distance from the others, and covers up the entrance every time she leaves it. The nest is made from fur which the mother plucks from her own body. The fur is used for coats and trimmings after being dressed, dyed, plucked or sheared into the following approved descriptions: Beaver dyed Rabbit Kolinsky dyed Rabbit Chinchilla Marten Mole Sable Nutria Mink Seal Squirrel Red Fox Imit. Ermine Blue Fox dyed Rabbit. Illustration for one of a set of 25 cigarette cards on the subject of Animals and their Furs issued by Wills in 1929. |
