Eastern Cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus)Observer
juliahamiltonDescription
I had noticed some rustling in my backyard, and when I turned around I saw a little rabbit eating away at the shrubs, and grass. I made sure not to approach the animal as it seemed to be keeping a keen eye on me while enjoying his food. The animal had long ears with big bright eyes, small stubby body, with a small white tail to match. It got up to eat on its hind legs and then wondered around looking for more food.
