About rabbits

What to know about rabbits

Many species of rabbits and hares live throughout the Nearctic region of the world.  Some of the most common species include the brush, eastern cottontail, and desert cottontail rabbits, while prevalent hares include the black-tailed and white-tailed jackrabbits.

Rabbits can become nuisances to gardeners and farmers because they feed on a wide variety of crop plants.  Infestations of rabbits should be seen to immediately, as the mammal reproduces quickly and populations easily get out of hand.
