Bunnies in the backyard: Eastern cottontail rabbits
5,350
Published 2022-12-22
The foxes occasionally catch rabbits, which may explain why we have relatively few of them. We are always pleased to see that a fox has found some dinner but we're also very sad for the rabbit. Life is complicated.
We've read that Eastern cottontail rabbits are territorial, and that might explain one of the clips we've included in this video. It shows a bunny chasing a skunk down at the water bowl. No one chases the skunks, not even the coyotes dare to upset them! But this little rabbit seemed intent on showing the skunk who was boss and the skunk was in no mood to argue, it dodged the charging rabbit and waddled hastily off down the trail.

Adorable. So funny that a rabbit can chase off a skunk!
-
With ears like that, they should be able to hear foxes breathing in the den!
-
That's funny about him running off the skunk
-
Very nice presentation.
-
Seeing that baby bunny in the den reminds me of watching one of the foxes last year chow down on a bunny snack. Yeah, I won't go into the details, but that imagery has definitely stayed with me.

I love the compilations that I normally wouldn't get to see otherwise. My schedule being what it is, I never know what hour I'll be checking in.

They're going to turn into DoorDash if they're not careful. Crazy wabbits. I wonder if assertiveness is just the local breed. I can't imagine a successful end-game once a rabbit catches something. Nice find, and well-presented. Thank you :)

The rabbits in the den remind me of high schoolers daring each other to break into an abandoned building. (Not that I know anything about that, of course. 😅)

Wow, another sheriff in the woods and he's so cute. The raccoon's eyes say "what's that, should I be scared?". Very funny. If he doesn't have a name yet, Roger Rabbit would be good. Many Thanks TBW
