Marlon Bundo (2012/2013 – c. January 15, 2022), also known as Bunny of the United States (BOTUS), was a rabbit belonging to the family of Mike Pence, the 48th vice president of the United States from 2017 to 2021.
Bundo was initially adopted for a film project by Pence's daughter Charlotte Pence during her freshman year of university. His name is a pun on actor Marlon Brando, chosen after Bundo's previous owner said "Make me an offer" when Pence asked about his price. He was the first rabbit to have traveled on Air Force Two, had a popular Instagram account, and was the subject of four children's books.
