Linfield’s bunnies: Too cute NOT to stop and admire

Grace Fjermedal and Anna Frazier

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.
