   @zoezo - I thought they were a type of exotic rabbit when I saw them IRL (it was at IsraelFest on campus -- they had these "bunnies," a baby lamb - that you can see in the background, and a camel). They could be baby hares... same family - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leporidae. Figured i'd submit it because i honestly thought they were just what i said - "exotic bunnies." hah. But I am no biologist.

   I am contacting my campus's Hillel to see whether I can figure out for sure if they are rabbits though. I will post here if I find anything new out.

   @zoezo - after MUCH digging and asking around, I finally found out that these are indeed NOT bunnies. Sorry for the submission, lomo. They are actually a rodent / mammal called "patagonia cavy." They're still look a likes for an exotic bunny to me though. Hahah.
