Rabbits often use their teeth, claws and tongue to clean their fur

It's important to always look smart, and if you can't afford going to a beauty parlor you should make time and take care of business yourself, the rabbit pictured above seems to think.

Sources say that the picture has recently been taken inside the Minsmere RSPB Reserve in Suffolk, England.

The photographer who caught the rabbit on camera says that it spent several minutes carefully grooming its fur, and that it paid particularly close attention to its very long ears.

Because they spend most of their time hopping around in tall grass, rabbits risk being attacked by maggots and other creatures that might enjoy taking up residence in their fur.

Therefore, it's possible that this little fellow was just trying to make sure it stays healthy.

I still say he was getting ready to go on a date.
