Desert Cottontail Rabbit | Framed Fine Art Print by Gene Irvin (1934–2026) | Southwest Wildlife Wall Art

If you've spent any time in the Arizona desert, you know this little rabbit. Tucked into the brush, ears alert, that unmistakable white puff of a tail catching the light. The Desert Cottontail (Sylvilagus audubonii) is one of the Southwest's most beloved wildlife icons — and Arizona wildlife artist Gene Irvin captured it perfectly in pen, ink, and watercolor, surrounded by the blue and yellow wildflowers of the Sonoran Desert.

A few things you might not know about the Desert Cottontail:

• Native to Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and California

• Dines on grass, mesquite, prickly pear, fallen fruit, and desert shrubs
