This cottontail rabbit (genus Sylvilagus) was squatting in my backyard. It sat perfectly still as I knowingly walked within a few feet of it while taking out the trash. I again passed it by when I went back into the house, and again it sat motionless. Only when I returned with my camera did it become nervous and twitchy- it bounded across the yard toward the house (hence the aluminum siding backdrop), and was very wary (and hairy). I took a few pictures and tried getting closer before it took off under the fence and returned to urbanization.
