Sylvilagus audubonii
Has larger ears than other cottontail species, probably an adaptation for thermoregulation in warm climates.
In addition to the Great Basin, I have seen them in grasslands of the Sacramento Valley and inner Coast Range in the San Francisco Bay region.
I have observed this species taking refuge in California ground squirrel burrows.
