The Cottontail Rabbit is a small mammal commonly found in North America. It has a distinctive fluffy white tail, which resembles a cotton ball, giving it its name. These rabbits typically have brown or gray fur that helps them blend into their surroundings, providing camouflage from predators. They are most active during dawn and dusk, feeding on grasses, herbs, and vegetables. Cottontail Rabbits are social animals and often live in groups. They create nests in shallow depressions in the ground, where they raise their young. These rabbits are known for their strong hind legs, which allow them to make quick escapes from danger by hopping away swiftly.
