Sylvilagus floridanus
Young and timid
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.
