Why Plush Definition?

The creator's reasoning behind this Animal Principle and the biology that supports it.

The Rex Rabbit teaches Plush Definition through a domestic rabbit whose short velvet coat becomes its signature. Its dense fur, soft texture, compact body, and calm breed presence show that identity can be felt before it is explained. Its lesson is that a quiet quality can define you more strongly than noise.
