Description The Eastern Cottontail is chunky red-brown or gray-brown in appearance with large hind feet, long ears and a short fluffy white tail. Its underside fur is white. There is a rusty patch on the tail. Winter coat, Ottawa, OntarioIts appearance differs from that of a hare in that it has a brownish-gray coloring around the head and neck. The body is lighter color with a white underside on the tail. It has large brown eyes and large ears to see and listen for danger. In winter the cottontail's pelage is more gray than brown. The kittens develop the same coloring after a few weeks, but they also have a white blaze that goes down their forehead; this marking eventually disappears. The average adult weighs about 1.1 to 1.8 kg (2 to 4 lbs); however the female tends to be heavier.The Eastern Cottontail can be found in meadows and shrubby areas in the eastern and south-central United States, southern Canada, eastern Mexico, Central America and northernmost South America. It is abundant in Midwest North America, and has been found in New Mexico and Arizona. Its range expanded north as forests were cleared by settlers. Originally, it was not found in New England, but it has been introduced there and now competes for habitat there with the native New England Cottontail. In the mid-1960s, the Eastern cottontail was introduced to northern Italy, where it displayed a rapid territorial expansion and increase in population density.The Eastern Cottontail's diet includes grasses, fruits, and vegetables in the spring and summer, and twigs, bark, dogwoods and maple trees in the winter. This animal is active at night, and it does not hibernate in winter. People also hunt it for food in many parts of its range, and its fur is also used for clothing.On farms and in gardens, the Eastern Cottontail is usually considered a pest and is often trapped or shot to protect plants.Mating occurs from February to September. Males will mate with more than one female. Female rabbi
Ed Wells Member Since March 2009 Artist Statement I grew up in a small town and in about the second grade my older brother showed me a photo he had made. It was of him holding a class mate standing in his hand. From that moment on I was interested in everything about photography.
My photos are an eclectic group of different places, things or animals I have seen and found interesting.
