Geocache Description:

This cache contains two of the clues needed to find the mystery cache Lagomorph: the final.

Throughout human history, rabbits have symbolized so many qualities in myth, legend, and popular media. Do an internet search and you will come up with many you've probably never heard of like the Buddhist tale "Anirhudda and the golden rabbit," in which a poor farmer's generosity is rewarded by the appearance of a rabbit made of gold. Every time the farmer and his wife needed money they would break off one of the rabbits legs, sell it, and it would magically regrow.

Here's our take on some of the top buns:

The EASTER BUNNY is certainly the top rabbit in North American culture. It symbolizes the return of spring with growth, fertility, and most of all CHOCOLATE (okay, that's the modern version anyway).

We are lifetime fans of Looney Toon's biggest star, BUGS BUNNY. "The Rabbit of Seville" and "What's Opera Doc?" are just the best cartoons ever. Bugs represents the confident, fast talking, wise mouth we all wish we could be sometimes.

The ENERGIZER BUNNY, though he doesn't say a word, inspires us to persevere, to keep going when others quit.

PLAYBOY BUNNIES? Our innocent non-judgemental interpretation: rabbits are cute. Cute women dressed like rabbits must be doubly cute, right?

How could we not mention the RABBIT OF CAERBANNOG from Monty Python's Holy Grail, the "most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set your eyes on. He's got a vicious streak a mile wide. Run away! Run away!"
