Desert cottontail rabbit

Sylvilagus audobonii . Cottontail species ( Sylvilagus ) are probably the most abundant lagomorphs in North America. They look very similar to the European rabbit and also bear young that are helpless at birth, hence requiring a period of parental care. Unlike the European rabbit, tho, they don't build underground warrens--they typically nest in brush, altho they may use a burrow dug by some other animal. Colorado National Monument, Colorado.
