Found these four baby rabbits hopping around my school campus near woods. They looked as though they had just come out of the nest for the first time!

Very cute. I would agree that these babies look like they are just out of the nest. Lagomorpha is the scientific Order and Leporidae is the scientific Family in which cottontails are found. Scientific names consist of the Genus and species names only.

If you are unsure of a scientific name of an organism, please leave that section blank and mark the box that indicates you need help to identify. :-)
