The Eastern Cottontail is a common rabbit species found in North America. It has a distinctive brownish-gray fur with a white fluffy tail, which resembles a cotton ball. These rabbits typically inhabit fields, forests, and suburban areas, where they can find plenty of grass and clover to eat. Eastern Cottontails are most active during dawn and dusk, making them crepuscular animals. They are known for their strong hind legs, which allow them to make quick escapes from predators. Their breeding season lasts from early spring to late summer, with females often giving birth to multiple litters each year.
