Desert cottontail

Sylvilagus audubonii

Description:

The desert cottontail is found throughout the western United States from eastern Montana to western Texas, and in northern and central Mexico. Westwards its range extends to central Nevada and southern California and Baja California. It is found at heights of up to 2,000 m (6,600 ft). It is particularly associated with the dry near-desert grasslands of the American southwest; though it is also found in less arid habitats such as pinyon-juniper forest. (information from Wikipedia)

Habitat:

Resort trail

Notes:

This little guy seemed to have something wrong with his back end, but it didn't stop him from getting around.
