Desert Cottontail Rabbit Framed

The desert cottontail, a frequent visitor around Gene’s desert home, is one of those cool little critters that just belong in the Southwest. Also known as Audubon's cottontail, this rabbit keeps it simple with a diet of mostly grass, plus mesquite leaves and peas, bark, fallen fruit, prickly pear pads, and twigs from shrubs. It’s got a neat trick up its sleeve—it hardly ever needs a drink, getting most of its moisture from the plants it munches on or morning dew. Unlike European rabbits, these guys aren’t into social burrow systems, but they don’t mind having others around.

This 5x7 inch print comes framed, bringing its overall size to 10x8 inches. It’s a perfect way to bring a touch of the desert into your space!
