Mother
bunny grows her fur thicker when she is growing babies
and pulls the fur to make a cozy safe place to birth and nurse them.
Newborn bunnies can fit into a human hand.
Babies
have no smell or odor —
This helps hide and protect them.
Jack
Rabbit young are born furred
and with their eyes open; they can
move around just a few hours after birth.
Jack
Rabbit
(Lepus Californicus)
Originally jackrabbits were called jackass rabbits because of their large ears. Their large eyes are placed back on the head so they can see in front, behind and overhead at the same time. With their long legs, jackrabbits can leap up to 20 feet and reach speeds of 30–35 mph! They are true hares and do not dig burrows.

Rabbits shed their fur frequently, and regrow it soft and clean.
Bunnies
can even change color with
the seasons to make them harder to see.

Be smart! Bunnies can bite and kick, so never pick up a bunny you don’t know.

If
forest bunnies allow you to see them —
say thank-you and do not intrude.
