Photograph of a cottontail rabbit sitting on all fours surrounded by the green grass of an unmown lawn. The rabbit is in the left frame. A shaft of light crosses the frame from the upper right to the lower left leaving the upper left corner and the bottom right corner in shadow. The light highlights the rabbit's face and front side as well as top of its back while casting shadows on the rabbit's side and lower behind. Cottontail rabbits have brown and white mottled fur with a white fur underbelly and under-tail which they flash when running with powerful back legs curled with energy like a spring. They have proportionally large ears and eyes and a typical but large rodent muzzle and nose with long whiskers.
