Cottontail Rabbit, Badlands National Park, South Dakota
A friend asked me about yesterday’s post of the tallgrass prairie, wanting to know if he should be looking for a rattler or a spotted hare somewhere in the photo. I didn’t see any rattlers or spotted hares that morning, but I did see this nice little cottontail that was hiding in the grass.
