bunny rabbit

Easter mascot animal

A bunny rabbit is simply a rabbit, with *bunny* as a diminutive term of endearment.

The phrase is used especially when speaking to or around children: Look at the bunny rabbit!

Adults may use it playfully or ironically.

The redundancy—bunny already means rabbit—adds affection rather than information.
