cottontail rabbit
White-rumped wild hare
A cottontail rabbit is any of several common North American rabbits with fluffy white tails that flash conspicuously when they run.
The name comes from the tail's resemblance to a ball of cotton.
Cottontails are the rabbits most often seen in backyards, fields, and suburban areas: A cottontail rabbit was nibbling the lettuce in our garden.
