Take a walk down any Linfield University sidewalk and you may be greeted by a little friend at your feet. Most of the time, the tiny fellow is a squirrel, terrified you’ll take its stash of acorns. But, if you’re lucky, it may be one of Linfield’s famous bunnies.

These bunnies (who were obviously pets in a previous life) are so tame that most of the time you can walk right up to them. They have their favorite haunts and evoke a gasp of “Oh how cute!” from every passerby. 

Local students know them by various names. A brown and white spotted one that lived around the Greens apartments over the summer was known as “Butterscotch,” “Carrots,” “Little Guy,” and even “Creatine” by residents.

What do you call your local Linfield bunny? And if it does have a name, send in a picture to [email protected]!
