Watch These Talented Rabbits Practice for Jumping Competitions

Horses like to jump and race, while dogs practice agility and other sports. Even cats have been known to show an athletic streak! But what about bunnies? We have all seen some pretty impressive bunny hops, but nothing is quite like the sport known as "Kaninhop." It's a bit like horse show-jumping, but for rabbits.

Picture the obstacles you would see at a horse show--and then make them mini. Kaninhop has been around since the 1980s, and its first national championship was in 1987. The Swedish developed the unique animal sport and most competitions are held in Europe. Yes, there are competitions! These adorable little fur balls get to take home ribbons for putting in a great day of jumping.

Recently, one Kaninhopper showed the TikTok universe exactly what her little bunnies can do. Danish native Tanja Bergh-Pedersen and her husband, Nicky, breed and train rabbits for competitions. According to their website, Tanja got her first rabbit, Ninu, when she was 5 years old. Her love of bunnies has only grown since! In addition to competing, Tanja is a show judge, and Nicky is the Storstroms Rabbit Breeder Association chairman. On her TikTok page, @unikinkaniner, Tanja works with one of her bunnies, making jumping over obstacles look easy.
