Just in case you feel like cleansing your retinas after laying eyes on the most gruesome snowmen ever known to man, here is a picture of what can only be the fluffiest thing in existence.

One might have trouble figuring things out at first, but the white stuff in this photo is not just a huge pile of fur. On the contrary, that odd and utterly hugable thing is an angora rabbit.

According to Huffington Post, the furry creature belongs to Betty Chu, a professor emeritus at San Jose State University.

Betty Chu says that, in order to get the bunny to be this fluffy, she uses a blower to arrange its wool.

Then again, the rabbit's fur can grow to measure about 10 inches (about 25.5 centimeters) in length, so there is little doubt that the fluffiness is not just due to the professor's hair-styling skills.

The woman has been keeping angora rabbits as pets for quite a while now, and says that they are nothing if not fun to have around.

Besides, they can be trained to use a litter box, just like cats do, and also like to follow their owner around, just like a dog does. As Miley Cyrus put it in her younger days, it's pretty much like getting the best of both worlds.
