This is Oolong. I've discovered him some time ago and finally decided to share with you, for those who don't already know him. He is the most famous rabbit on the internet, to a point that he has his own Wikipedia page !
Oolong was a well known Internet phenomenon, through a large array of photographs posted by Akutagawa on his website. The site featured "photo journeys" of the domestic rabbit traveling with his master through the house, yard, and other locations <...>
Oolong was trained to balance objects on his head, an art called "Head Performance" by his owner.The first object balanced on Oolong's head was a 35mm film canister on 25 May 1999. Soon, Akutagawa had the rabbit balance a variety of things on his head, including tea cups, bread, fruit, pancakes (actually dorayaki), and even a rabbit skull.
Unfortunately Oolong died in 2003. Akutagawa now owns a new rabbit by the name of Yuebing which he now trains him as he did Oolong. A few more shots of Oolong after the jump along with Akutagawa's website.
