I took the picture and zoomed in at various areas. I'm with the majority and say rabbit/hare. To be even more specific I think it is a rex rabbit looking at the fur, very distinguishable (Yes I am also a vet tech)

I’ll say it is an ungulate. I’m not sure what type exactly but I will guess one of the smaller Asian antelope. The front-right ‘foot’ appears to have a smaller hoof. This is not evident on the front-left but I believe it is still hoofed. The neck is far thicker and longer than that of any rabbit I have seen, but seems to match that of an antelope. Also the midsection is quite ‘lopey IMO. The length and shape of the front limbs do not even remotely resemble that of any rabbit or dog I have seen. The hair does not look goat-like to me as it is too short straight and oily looking.

The front feet/legs, and the tail are completely wrong for a rabbit. Nto to mention, where are the ears????

That malaysian bush pig photo... or whatever it was called... seems a little more likely. The shape of the legs seems much closer... not to mention the fur patterns, and the general body shape.

I would bet the farm that it is not a rabbit.

I showed the picture to Sheila, and enlarged it, and she thinks the feet part look like a fetal hooved mammal.

It could be a prematurely born mammal of some kind, which is why it looks weird. I would not have expected the fur to be all clean and dry if that was the case though - but who knows.

My money says it's not a rabbit.

A rabbit no question about it. The tail looks like my mini rex and the ears in the picture would be in the snakes mouth and covered by the coil by the snakes head. if it is a smaller rabbit they do have fairly short ears that wouldn't be visable in the picture due to the snakes mouth and coil by the rabbits head. Even the colouring on the side, belly and tail match a rex

Those are definately hooves. The bottom of both feet are white, how often do you see a dog with pure with paws and pads? I've never, and it's definately not a bunny. It's legs are the same length on all four, bunnies or rabbits have shorter arms then legs, did you people get chocolate bunnies for easter? I would guess it's a goat or a ?deer?.

Late but thought I'd add my 2 cents worth,,,, To big to be a bunny look at the paving stones under them as well as the throw rug corner you can see. The animal is to big and built all wrong to be a rabbit. Enlarged it looks like it has hoves and the way the feet are shaped , not a rabbit or dog. The hair color and coat are from an animal non native to North America. There are lots of places that sell exotic animals deer etc.. If you look you can see an old scab and a fresher looking scrape on the front legs also the animal looks pretty stiff looks like it was dead before the snake got it I don'y think it's a neonate you'd still see the mess on it's belly. Could maybe be a goat a pigme (sp) or my guess would be some kind of small deer not a fawn. But untill whoever took the pic fesses up we're just guessing

I have been looking at this some more, and you can DEFINITELY see the rabbits ear... plus the more that I look, those back feet sure do resemble a rabbit.

I don't know those feet look hoofed when you blow the pic up. Just doesn't look like a bunny to me. What does really get me is if you look at the front legs you see a hooked shaped something on the right front down near the foot. Could be nothing or maybe a dew claw. My best guess is a Iovian giant two toed rat lol who the h@#$ knows what it is...... Hey Brent where abouts in ND are you
