I find it really interesting how some breeds/types of bunnies have such vastly different shaped heads. Some have long, elongated faces with cute pointy noses, some have very round, bulbous faces, some have super-flat, squished faces.. it’s fun to see all the different kinds!
.So, post a pic of your bun’s head in profile (that is, looking to the side), so we can see all the different kinds of bunny heads there are out there!
.Oh, and if you want to post what breed, or what breed you think your bun may be, that might be interesting too.
.Here’s Zeus!:
I’d say Zeus has a pretty flat head..

Great idea! I think it’s neat and cute how they are all different as well.
Bindi Loo has the sad looking squishy profile typical of lops. (Sorry not the best pic, only profile one I could find right now )
Olivia has a very long, pointy nose. When I first got her, I nicknamed her “pointer rabbit”. We don’t know what breed(s) she is. I think her nose looks funny in the second pic
Stormy is in-between. His head curves, like an s shape. He has a very pronounced forehead which seems to be common in Mini Rex’s.

Mr. Bunny’s head shape is a little like a wild rabbit’s – long and uniform. His head has some curves around the eyes. He has relatively small eyes (compared to Ms. Rabbit, at least) and long ears.
Ms. Rabbit’s head shape is similar to Mr. Bunny’s, except it’s slightly more rounded around the eyes and nose. She has huge brown eyes and relatively long ears.

Loving the pics : )
Lops can look flat on the top of the head. Rumball certainly does. It took a bit of getting used to when I first got him as I wasn’t used to lops. The base of his ears has really thick cartilage compared to Jersey. I think he has sort of netherland features about his face but he’s 6.6lbs!
You might notice Jersey has matching crimps near the top of her ears. Does anyone else’s rabbit have those?
She can look like a flathead too, when lopped. :p

@Fluffy, if you bunnapped mine the bunnymoon would definately be over for MrB and MsR. lolThat’s alright! I’ll always have a little bunnymoon.
…If that’s what you meant.

Yes, okay, I admit it.. I’ve been doing bonding sessions with my girls…Yay! So we’re not really talking about it so as not to jinx it?
This means there may be lots of Monkey&Smudge-bug pics in the future. We have some time to prepare for exploding heads.

Ok, here’s some of my loppy pair! Otto has a very flat face – my friends tease him and ask if he walked into a door. Or a frying pan. Lol. First is a baby pic, then a pic when he was 10 months old. This shape is very common to hollands.
This picture shows both of them together. Hannah’s face is so much pointier.
Here’s a baby pic of Hannah that shows how she can look straight in front with both eyes. Many bunnies have to look at you sideways because their eyes are on the sides of their heads (like horses and other prey animals). Hannah’s face pretty forward because her head is narrow I guess, so she can look straight on. You can’t even see both of Otto’s eyes from the front because his forehead is so wide.

Jersey is gorgeous! I laughed when I saw the last pic – I like to push down Mr. Bunny’s ears the same way. Sometimes they don’t come back up for a few minutes!
*loves rabbit eyes* 
I will definitely post more if/when it is done though
