Dead Bunny Goes "THUMP"!

Darn it all, I forgot to take pics, but . . .

Found a rabbit lying on its side near my front steps a few days ago; after a few pokes in the ribs I realized it was dead. Having no dead animal recycling centers nearby, I opted for the next best thing and decided to put 'em on the ol' shovel and toss it proper-like over the back fence.

Two drops later, I noticed that the sound it made upon hitting the ground just prior to bouncing was not unlike that of a thick piece of rubber hitting concrete. Now, if you've read this far without thinking I'm entirely insane, I hope you will answer me when I ask if larger animals sound vaguely rubber-like when dropped from a few feet up or if they simply flop. Note that I am NOT advocating the slaying of any woodland creatures/pets/neighbors for the purpose of experimentation.
