Meet "Kung Fu Cotton," an adorable adult male bunny available for adoption through the Hoke County Animal Shelter.

Here's what the shelter has to say about him:

"Adopt-At-Your-Own-Risk: Meet Kung Fu Cotton! 3 month old male bunny.

Looking for a pet with personality? Forget “fluffy and cuddly” this rabbit is bringing martial arts energy into the adoption game.

Kung Fu Cotton is soft, adorable, and looks like a living plushie… until you try to pet him without permission. Then it’s HI-YAH! a tiny cotton ball roundhouse kick straight to your soul. Don’t worry, his attacks feel more like a feather duster in a grumpy mood than actual injury, but the audacity is impressive.

So if you’ve got a good sense of humor, fast reflexes, and a soft spot for dramatic bunnies with main character energy, then Kung Fu Cotton is waiting for you."
