[Leica] IMG: Ears

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

Its ears, quite large, are listening to the sound of the camrea.
Those are the largest bunny ears I've ever seen.
I don't think they miss much.
That one small thistle in front of one ear kind of adds some odd visual
interest.

I'm guessing they see well too but that's just a guess.
