[미국] Bunny in my backyard. (마당에 토끼가 새끼를...) 1

몇일 전 제초제를 뿌리려고 뒷마당에 가던 중 우연히 발이 살짝 빠지는 작은 구멍이 있는걸 발견했다. 풀이 덮여 있어서 겉으로는 전혀 표가 안나는데 잘 보면 풀이 살짝살짝 움직였다. 텍사스에서 14년, 지금 사는 집에서 7년 살면서 이런건 처음 봤고, 혹시나 뱀인가 해서 찜찜한 마음에 그냥 집에 들어왔다. 다음 날 호기심이 발동해서 다시 가서 살펴봤고, 안에 작은 동물들이 있는걸 봤다. 구멍 안에 여러 마리가 있었는데 처음엔 정확히 무슨 동물인지 분간이 안갔다. 알고보니 아기 토끼 네마리. 어미는 어디 있는지 보이지 않았다.

A few days ago, while I was going to my backyard to spray herbicide, I accidentally found a small hole. It's covered with grass, so you can't see any marks from the outside, but if you look closely, the grass moves slightly. I've been living in Texas for 14 years and in my current house for 7 years, and this is the first time I've seen something like this. I was not sure what maybe inside the hole and I was scared, so I just came into the house with a vague mind that it might be a snake. The next day I went back to check it out, and saw that there were little animals inside. There were several animals in the hole, but at first I couldn't tell exactly what animal they were. I found out that there are four baby rabbits. I could not see the mom anywhere though.
