Description
Springtime Cottontail - Photography by Karol Livote
This is a New England cottontail, that is the only rabbit native to Connecticut. The eastern cottontail was introduced into New England in the late 1800s and early 1900s and has been expanding its range ever since. The eastern cottontail is now the predominant species that can be found in New York east of the Hudson River and across New England in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and into southern portions of New Hampshire and Maine.
They feed almost entirely on tender grasses, leaves, and herbs, but at different times of the year they are known to eat twigs, crops, plants and bushes.
Cottontail rabbits are active all year long, foraging mainly at dusk or night and tend to use open fields, meadows, yards, and other grassy areas as their habitat.
