"I saw one recently in a revolving door of a skyscraper in the Loop," said Bob O'Neill, president of the Grant Park Conservancy. "The rabbit had gone in thinking it could enter the building!"
"I saw one in a planter on Ohio Street three blocks east of Michigan Avenue," said Liz O'Callaghan, operations manager at the Chicago Park District. "It stopped me cold. I thought, 'There's a rabbit!' He was sitting there alone, and he wasn't chewing anything.
"Maybe he was waiting for a taxi."
She considers them bullies, and calls them "fuzzy rats." "They're practically man-eating!" she said. "They have no fear. They stare you down in your driveway."
Madelen Fields-Gollogly, a member of the Grant Park Advisory Council, said the only reason the rabbits haven't made it to the roofs is that "the rabbits don't know how to push the buttons of the elevators."
She and others worry that it's just a matter of time.
And you thought they were cute.

Oh, goodness! They are cute. It could be worse. The city could be infested with rats, bats or possums. Blech!
