Brush rabbit
Sylvilagus bachmani
Brush rabbits are small, short-legged rabbits with moderately pointed ears and white cottontails. They eat many kinds of grasses and forbs, especially sow thistle and sea lettuce. They favor areas of dense brush for protection and cover, and are therefore seldom seen. They can be diurnal or nocturnal, so watch for them near thickets of blackberries or dense shrubs, or crossing the trails. |
