This fluffy bunny is different from your average rabbit, with its soft grey and brown fur that helps it blend into the desert background. Cottontails have big eyes that are always on the lookout, and long ears to hear any danger approaching. But, the most interesting thing about them is their white, cotton-like tail that gives them their name.  \nSpeaking of their fluffy tails, did you know that these tails have a purpose beyond just looking cute? When a predator comes near, the Desert Cottontail Rabbit will flash its white tail as a warning to other rabbits. These bunnies are quite the fast runners and can hop away quickly to escape danger, using their  \ntail as a distracting target. Their main predators are coyotes, hawks, and snakes, but don't worry, these clever rabbits know just how to stay safe!  \nStaying safe isn't their only skill, though, as these bunnies are also expert foragers. Their diet consists mostly of grasses, but they also munch on cacti, tree bark, and even their own droppings to get all the nutrients they need! They are most active during the cooler parts of the day, in the early morning and late afternoon, when they come out to eat and explore. They're not big fans of the hot midday sun, so they hide in burrows or under bushes to keep cool.  \nNow that we know how they spend their day, let's discover more about their life cycle and relationship with us humans. Desert Cottontail Rabbits have a short life span of about two years, and they start having babies when they're just a few months old. They don't build nests, but dig shallow holes where the mother can hide her babies for safety.
