Standing tall, our trusty winter companion named Bunn, a Mountain Cottontail (Sylvilagus nuttallii), scans the surroundings for hints danger or perhaps where to head for her next meal. Bunn typically spends her day feeding on the shrubs nearby or just sitting perched upon a high snow mound.
That’s so sweet. 🙂 Is it an adult or a young one? Its ears seem very short for an adult.

Hi, Bunn is a sweet rabbit indeed. She does have shortchanged tears but for some reason all the cottontails in our regions do. Maybe it helps them retain heat in our cold climate.

Hi Eliza, she has to be aware given the number of Bobcat track we have seen about lately.
