What is Next Nature?

With our attempts to cultivate nature, humankind causes the rising of a next nature, which is wild and unpredictable as ever. Wild systems, genetic surprises, autonomous machinery and splendidly beautiful black flowers. Nature changes along with us.

Next Rabbit

Next Rabbit

This is not a 3-D-animation of a fictional creature, but an actual existing animal: the Angora Rabbit. Is this what happens when we over breed animals? Or, is this the result of having too much time on your hands?

Somehow I came across these pictures via this and site which eventually led to this curious source. Apparently there are four breeds of Angora rabbits: English Angora, French Angora, Giant Angora and Satin Angora. English and French were the original breeds, Satin and Giant were introduced in the late 1980s. Check the American Rabbit Breeder’s Association’s site for more info.

    I get it. There may even come a moment that our connection with an industrially manufactured coke bottle may be richer and more mythical than our relation with a genetically analyzed and manipulated rabbit in the woods.

    Time to develop the horrific theme music – this animal could feature in an enviro-thriller starring rabbits instead of zombies or vampires.

  3. What did you do put the wet rabbit into the dryer?

  4. Man, If Hollywood is gonna do a horror movie, This would be the star!

    Actually, there’s already a rabbit/hare-themed horror film entitled Night of the Lepus. It’s just as amazing as one might imagine.

    Sheeeeeeeeeeep. Jeez they must have brushed that thing forever….or just popped it in the dryer. Poor little furball. They should shear it. Then they’d have an expensive sweater and a happy rabbit.
