first answer: No, there is no difference between a bunny and a rabbit. The word "bunny" is just a nickname for rabbits -- it derives from the old-time word for "rabbit," which was "coney" (pronounced with a soft "o," like "honey"). The word "rabbit" actually used to mean baby coneys -- nowadays, "rabbit" refers to the animal in general, "bunny" is a nickname, and babies are called "kits" (or "kittens").

second answer: I think they do have a difference between them because the bunny has their ears bend down forward and the rabbit ears stays up

response: You are thinking of lop-eared rabbits. Bunnies with ears that bend down are called lops or lop-eared. Bunnies with ears that stay up don't have a special name.
