The Eastern Cottontail can be
found in many parts of North America in great
abundance. They like to live in grassy fields
and meadows that are high enough to provide them
with shelter. The Eastern Cottontail eats a variety
of grasses, buds and flowers throughout the year
as they do not hibernate. The major predators
of the Eastern Cottontail include lynx, foxes
and hawks.
Many rabbits that live in northern areas of the
world hibernate during the winter, but the Eastern
Cottontail does not.
