Visitors at a South Korean zoo on Thursday were greeted by rabbits in traditional Korean costumes in an early tribute to the Year of the Rabbit.
The fluffy bunnies, Flemish Giant rabbits and two Rex rabbits, were a big hit with the children.
Jang Young-Ji, 10 Year Old, said, "I used to raise a rabbit, but it was small and not exciting enough. But, this rabbit is really big and fun to play with."
Visitors can take photographs with the costumed rabbits in Everland Zoo in Yong-in, on the outskirts of Seoul.
Kim Yang-Beom, Zoo Manager, Samsung Everland, said, "2011 is the Year of the Rabbit. Rabbits have been symbolizing fortune and richness since old times. So, the Everland Zoo is exhibiting rabbits and has prepared various events. Come look at these and get a good fortune."
Next year is the year of the rabbit on the Chinese zodiac calendar. And the lunar new year begins on February 3rd.
