Chicago: The Bunny Capital of the Midwest?
You know how they say New York City is the city that never sleeps? Well, I think Chicago might be the city that never stops hopping. I’m talking about rabbits, people. Rabbits. Those fluffy little cottontails are multiplying like, well, rabbits. You can’t throw a carrot without hitting one of these guys. It's like a scene out of Watership Down, but with skyscrapers and deep-dish pizza.

The Great Chicago Rabbit Explosion
I’m not sure what’s going on here. Are we breeding these things? Is there a secret rabbit sanctuary somewhere in the suburbs that’s overpopulated? Or maybe it’s just a really good cover story for aliens who are secretly taking over the world, one bunny at a time.
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.
Seriously though, it’s getting a bit ridiculous. I’ve seen more rabbits in this city than I have people. They’re hopping down the street, lounging in parks, and even trying to sneak into my apartment (I swear I saw one eyeing my lettuce the other day). It’s like they own the place.

So, Why Are There So Many Rabbits?
Okay, let’s get serious for a second. There are a few theories floating around about the rabbit population explosion:
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
- Mild winters: Warmer temperatures mean more rabbits surviving the cold.
- Urban sprawl: More green spaces create ideal habitats for bunnies.
- Lack of natural predators: Coyotes and hawks are busy with other things.
- Rabbits are just really good at math: They’ve figured out the perfect breeding strategy.
Whatever the reason, it’s clear that Chicago has a rabbit problem. But hey, at least the city is getting cuter by the day.
