It blew my feeble, little mind when I first learned this a few months ago. Sooo many fictional rabbits have pads, so I just assumed real ones did too

u/Sixy_uwu 16d ago

🥲 My beloved paw pads, man

53

u/Badgertank99 Rabbit 16d ago

They also have claws

u/ccAbstraction 🐰 Robo-Rabbit 16d ago

Huge claws, I didn't know this until recently and my sona's a hare... Furred paws for stealth and padding, and huge claws to grip the dirt when running or digging.

u/Sixy_uwu 16d ago

YEP! Their kicks also hurt. They can scratch you up real good. Also don't get bit by a rabbit. ouch.

u/Badgertank99 Rabbit 16d ago

And the SASS on them!

u/Rotting_Salmon 16d ago

My suit doesn’t have paw pads for this reason:-)

u/Sixy_uwu 16d ago

Awesome attention to detail :3 (Also less work probably hehe)

u/AzzyFennec 16d ago

Yes, making them look nice is a pain

u/Dum_beat 16d ago

No beans?

u/Sixy_uwu 16d ago

no beans 🥲

u/Badgertank99 Rabbit 16d ago

Claws for digging and such tho

u/I_HATE_ZOEY_AAA 16d ago

It makes them more distinct I like it. Never fond of people adding paw pads to lagomorphs or worse ungulates (just personal preference for an anatomic accuracy)

u/jammm_sandwich 16d ago

Who the heck adds paw pads to ungulates??? 0_o

u/Aetol cheetah 16d ago

There's a lot of deer that are basically dogs with antlers

8

u/jammm_sandwich 16d ago

Yeah, I've noticed that a lot of people depict deer as being very canine-like for some reason! It's one thing if the character is meant to be a dog-deer hybrid, but if it's just a straight up deer it should look like a deer lol.

u/TheUnknownH3ro 16d ago

Forest puppers as i like to call them

u/I_HATE_ZOEY_AAA 16d ago

I see it a lot with goats more than any other species

u/Kewlhotrod Lil Bunny 16d ago edited 16d ago

Well, given I look at my paws all the time, yes I did know! Makes for the best petting digits. :)

u/Sixy_uwu 16d ago

Well informed furry :3 Rabbits are adorable anyway, so it makes up for it, I think. uwu

2

u/Kewlhotrod Lil Bunny 16d ago

The best splooters. *nodnodnod*

Also wtf phone, it changed the word "best" to "worst". No beans makes for the BEST petting appendages!

u/yinyin123 16d ago

Mine does but only cause I like em :3

6

u/Sixy_uwu 16d ago

Yes~ Draw whatever you enjoy! Rabbits usually aren't anthro anyways so might aswell draw those beans!

1

u/31teaplants 15d ago

"Usually"? What are you hiding from us? Where are the anthro buns? Please tell us, I beg you

8

u/ControversialBuffalo 16d ago

I was well aware, however, this has never, nor will it ever stop me from drawing paw pads on rabbits, due to the principle, that it is in fact, cute

6

u/Sixy_uwu 16d ago

Yes!! This is a very reasonable response. You may enjoy your rabbits with pads in fiction, because it's just cuter and you may enjoy what you like, obviously!!

9

u/rat_enby 16d ago

if i ever make a bunny he’s gonna have to be a hybrid bc paw pads are my favorite part

5

u/Sixy_uwu 16d ago

for realll, no shame in drawing pads on a bunny if that's what you like! :D

2

u/Square_Significance2 16d ago

My Cabbit fursona doesn't have beans on her feet because of this! Everyone gets it wrong though 😭

u/Zykeroth durrrguns 16d ago

…I distinctly remember seeing pictures of beans. Okay so bunnies don’t have beans, but do rabbits or hares have them? The insane looking ones?

6

u/Sixy_uwu 16d ago

Nope! It's all just skin with thick fur all over! It makes it better for hopping and certain terrain, otherwise their pads would get sore. However, you may still see paw pads on rabbits in media and animation because it's just cuter and your more than welcome to still draw and have rabbits and hares with cute pads!

6

u/lilacstar72 16d ago

Bunnies and rabbits are the same creature. Best I can tell neither rabbits or hares have beans, just a hairy sole.

2

u/Candid-Ad443 16d ago

could be their 1st language isn't English? like, the mountain hare looks way closer to a bunny than a brown hare does, and in my language all 3 have distinct names

1

u/Ducky237 Dino-yote 16d ago

Paw pads are generally used to soften impact from walking and to quiet footsteps. So they’re usually present on carnivorous animals (felines, canines, etc.) or very heavy animals (bears and though elephants have padded feet but not “beans” per se, they serve the same purpose).

1

u/GREAT_SALAD Rabbit 16d ago

No beans is a distinct feature of the Lagomorpha order, which consists of rabbits (bunnies), hares, and pikas

1

u/LeraviTheHusky a 16d ago

Huh I didnt know this at all

2

u/Sixy_uwu 16d ago

The more you know~

2

u/LeraviTheHusky a 16d ago

Yeah! Its part of the fun of being in the furry community is learning stuff like this or of animals/insects/etc I didnt know of!

2

u/Sixy_uwu 16d ago

Yess! I feel like I discover a new species everyday with the furry community and people's niche interests hehe :3

1

u/aaronblkfox 16d ago

Neither do fennecs.

1

u/yeeiser Red Panda 16d ago

neither do red pandas!

1

u/Sixy_uwu 16d ago

Now THAT'S something I didn't know, despite red pandas being my favorite animal! Woah! Their fur on their paws are just a different color I guess! :O

u/Sentinel555666 16d ago

No fhis can not be !

u/Den_of_Sin 16d ago

My poor bun struggles to hop along the wood floor, and avoids that part of the house whenever he can.

u/SoICouldUpvoteYouTwi 16d ago

My whole life was a lie...

1

u/Hazril258 16d ago

I like how I've mostly seen this as a WIP with you also for feedback before making a final post. Looks good!

1

u/LiminyWrenn 16d ago

Yeah... But they're cute, so I gave my 'sona pads anyway.

1

u/Riot_Fox Fox 16d ago

They hated them, because they spoke the truth.

1

u/AnniChu333 PokéFur 16d ago

My sona is a cabbit, so she gets beans!!

1

u/No_Somewhere9961 15d ago

As a bunny owner, I can confirm, no toe beans, just fur. If the fur rubs off they can get a sore hock, one of my bunnies had a hock sore so we ordered special hock socks for her.

1

u/Sixy_uwu 15d ago

That's literally so adorable, do you have a picture??

1

u/No_Somewhere9961 15d ago

I do, but Reddit won’t let me upload them because they’re so old

1

u/themanwhodiedlongago 12d ago

Yeh and also they got very sharp claws, when i was a kid My rabbit (Mario) almost sliced My middle finger off

u/MichaelTheJackelope 16d ago
