Description
A large-eared eastern cottontail rabbit lies in the grass, sporting a surprised expression. It seems to have noticed that I was snapping its photo, haha!
Eastern Cottontails prefer the peripheries of open spaces and are seldom found in dense forests or vast grasslands. The Humane Society notes their vital role in ecosystems: they create underground burrows that enhance soil health and act as prey for numerous larger predators. Despite their importance in the food chain and threats like habitat destruction, trapping, and vehicle collisions, their lifespan is typically short, ranging from one to nine years. Domestic rabbits, however, can live from five to ten years.
