Sylvilagus audubonii
Rabbits seen at Bolsa chica wetlands
Thanks Jellis.Interesting to know that the common rabbit is introduced in this eco system.
doubt this is a desert cottontail in the wetlands. this is a common rabbit introduced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_r...
Thanks D'rtanyon.The brown Rufus on the neck does indicate a Dessert Cottontail.Will update soon.
The desert cottontail Sylvilagus audubonii possibly. There are only eight main species of rabbit in california according to the state website. This looks very close to it but take a second opinion for sure!
