A precious moment has been captured at a Scots zoo as photos show a giant albino rabbit befriending a small yellow chick.
Nine-moth old Bunny Tiger-Lily was snapped letting the tiny three-day old chick rest on her back.
The adorable pals live at Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre in Perthsire and will no doubt impress patrons over the Easter holiday.
Keepers said gentle Tiger-Lily is very friendly and is happy to let the little bird relax on her back.
Measuring two foot when stretched, the continental giant rabbit eats her meals from a dog bowl, as Tiger-Lily, and her appetite, are still growing.
Giant rabbits are famous for their role in TV show the Teletubbies but are normally brown.
Animal Keeper Sam Stevens, 27, said spoilt Tiger-Lily is wheeled outside on a trolly everyday so she can play outside, because she doesn't like to be picked up.
She said the white bunny loves to explore and see visitors.
Sam said: "Tiger-Lily is very good natured, gentle, and really friendly, so she liked being with the chick.
"The chick hatched at the centre and is just a few days old.
"We used to have another giant rabbit who we sadly lost during lockdown, but she was the highlight of the park so we knew Tiger-Lily would be a hit.
"We got her form a breeder when she was four-months-old.
"Tiger-Lily still has some growing to do, we are not sure how big she will get but it will certainly be bigger.
"She is eating a lot at the moment because she is still growing, we have to feed her out of a dog bowl.
"Giant rabbits were used in the Teletubbies to make them look smaller, that's what they are famous for.
"But they were the usual brown ones and Tiger-Lily is albino.
"Giant rabbits don't like being picked up, so we put her in a carrier and on to a little
