Before she became the Where’s Wildlife mascot, Petes was a wild rabbit who liked the shady bushes outside my apartment window.
I started leaving her little treats and soon learned her favorites: strawberries, carrots, and bananas. Over time, she got used to me. Eventually, I could quietly call “Here, Petes” out the window, and she would come hopping around the corner.
There’s a story behind her name, too. At first, I thought Petes was a boy. Then one day, I went to feed her and found her nursing a baby bunny. That cleared things up! By then, she already knew the name Petes, so Petes she stayed.
For about five years, she was a familiar face outside my window, visiting almost every day. There were baby bunnies along the way, too. Sometimes she would disappear for a few weeks, long enough for me to assume the worst. Then one day, there she’d be again.
Eventually, one of those long absences never ended.
I still miss my little buddy, but I’m grateful for the years she spent visiting me. Seeing her outside my window was a small part of my day that meant a lot.
Now she’s the bunny in the Where’s Wildlife logo and the inspiration behind Finding Petes. The rabbit who used to hide in the bushes outside my window has a whole collection of landscapes to hide in.
