As if rabbits are having a tough time reproducing...
In the study, adult male rabbits with severely damaged penises received a graft of specially engineered penile tissue. The animals then re-grew full penises that functioned normally -- even to the point of successfully impregnating females.
Scientists blessed some male rabbits with bigger penises, and carefully tracked their growth...
Atala's group tracked the rabbits' penile growth and function over the next one, three and six months.
The researchers found that the new penises were similar in structure to natural rabbit penises. The "artificial penis" also achieved and maintained erectile pressures equal to those of normal rabbit penises.

The picture you used reminded me of something I witnessed a few years ago. I have a large garden and we bred rabbits for quite some time. When the weather was fair, we'd let the rabbits out to play. We had a tomcat back then, and he got on famously with the rabbits; maybe he didn't see them as food.

Rabbits are weird in every possible way.
