It is also a popular pet.

History

As one of his three deadly tests in Omashu, Aang was tasked with retrieving Flopsie, the king's pet. Aang jumped down into a pit occupied by a lop-eared rabbit, believing the creature was his target. However, the real Flopsie appeared behind Aang and scared the lop-eared rabbit away. Aang gave chase, but the small animal easily evaded the airbender before escaping into a hole.

After the invasion of the United Republic of Nations, Jobal took care of a lop-eared rabbit that had been separated from its owner during the evacuation of Republic City. After Meelo found him and convinced him to come to the evacuee camp, the lop-eared rabbit was returned to its owner.

Anatomy

The lop-eared rabbit is a small quadruped covered in white fur with gray spots around its eyes. It is small but has ears longer than the length of its body.

Behavior

The lop-eared rabbit is easily frightened but can move at high speeds and avoid predators with stealth. Thanks to their large ears, they have exceptional hearing, making it difficult for anyone to catch them. They are preyed upon by goat gorillas.

Despite their usually skittish nature, if they are accustomed to human contact, lop-eared rabbits make "great companions".
