OK, we are a bit late in covering the phenomenon of Wally The Bunny\u00a0but he must be mentioned in any list of celebrity rabbits. Wally burst on the social media scene at the start of 2015 with an Instagram account. His claim to fame? His fur coiffure.<\/p>\n
Because Wally is an English Angora breed, intense daily grooming is needed to prevent matting of the fur. His owner, Molly, opted to give him a unique fur trim that left his ears, face, and paws with the glorious long fur of the breed, but was trimmed short over his body. She posted photos to Instagram<\/a>, and a star was born. He currently has more than 330,000 followers on Instagram, and his recent photos typically get 6,000 to 10,000 likes, while his videos pile up 20, 30, or even 40,000 likes.<\/p>\n Wally\u2019s amazing looks and love of the camera combined with his owner\u2019s charming stories about Wally\u2019s life proved irresistible to most netizens, and his fame continued to grow. Later in 2015, Wally expanded to Facebook<\/a>, and in 2016 he conquered Snapchat. Tumblr<\/a> was added in 2017.<\/p>\n How did Wally look before his famous fur trim? There’s a photo at the account to show.<\/p>\n Wally is the star of his own book, which was released in February 2017. It\u2019s available at Amazon<\/a> and other book retailers. His image also graces various products at an online Dutch store<\/a>.<\/p>\n Magazines, newspapers, websites \u2014 coverage of Wally popped up almost everywhere!<\/p>\nWally\u2019s Fame Expands Beyond Social Media<\/h3>\n
