AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the claim that rabbits and rats can have descendants, which is met with skepticism. Participants point out that rabbits and rats belong to different families and cannot interbreed, emphasizing the biological impossibility of such hybrids. Some express curiosity about the appearance of the alleged offspring, while others question the validity of the original claim, suggesting the possibility of misidentification or misunderstanding. The conversation includes humorous remarks about the situation and references to various animal species, but ultimately concludes that the idea of a "rabrat" is not scientifically supported. The thread ends with a note about the date of the original post, indicating it may have been an old or irrelevant discussion.

Did you know a rabbit and a rat can have descendants?
I saw the creatures...
Little monsters!

Pretty creepy stuff!

Do you know if the descendants are furtile?

I hope they are fertile ...
Possibiilty RABBIT+RAT is a cruel joke of mother Nature.
But rat who rapped our pet bunny doesn't seem to care of the consequnces.

rabbit + rat

Oh. I thought the answer was going to be b^2+2(rat)+i b^2+2(rat)+i

Sorry, wrong forum.
 
I decided not to waste them.Only becouse my kinky nice says
she is interested in rising them.She says she is curious to find
out how they will look fully grown up...
OTOH,I'm interested how rabbits and rats can mutually procreate at all?
For instance,humans and chimps (fortunately) can't althought the biological
codes are only ~2% different.

Are you sure? Interfamilial hybrids are rare- rats and rabbits don't even belong to the same order.

Rabbits and rats come from two different families and can't interbreed.

Could be even more intriguing than I thought.
Who than or what shagged the bunny if not a rat?
I guarantee it wasn't another rabbit.
In the basement the occassional visitors could be only rats...
I'm not a biologist and that's is very strange,but I'm forced to think of a rat as prime suspect!
 
Wait a minute. No one saw the mating? You're surmising what they are only from the fact that they look like little monsters?

I am very suspicious. Can you please recount the story from the top with details?

Show the pictures so that we can judge what happened.

Are you sure they aren't just normal rabbit pups? They're a long way from being cute and furry when born.

How long have you owned the rabbit? Is it possible it was already pregnant when you got it if you haven't had any other rabbits around? Or, barring that, if you suspect a rat could get into your basement, why couldn't a wild rabbit?

I know a tiger and a rat that had offspring. One was a sheep and the other was a chicken.

My wife is Chinese.

Could the OP be referring to a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyrax" ?

Scary. We have not only rabbit/rat interbreeding, but also some thread necromancy here...
