@Bos Thousands of rabbits every year? Wow! How did you do with those carcasses? Throw away, or....

Plenty around Omaha, I wondered if the cats would have a go at them. Nina went up recently, took about 8 minutes from when she arrived to the first one down.

I think I would aim at the cats front legs,get both with one barrel.

Oh how do we count the ways eh @Bos
Hares have
Longer ears
Black tips to ears
Different eyes
longer legs
Tail doesn't flash white
More ginger colouration
Black nose

My money is on it being a rabbit, gotta admit it sits like hares frequently do.

Yep even at such a juvenile age it ticks two boxes on the ID list.
Longer legs and colour.
BTW we only have the European here, hair,hare.
Oh 3 if you note the eye colour and four the longer guard hair / here on the hare there.

yip ok.....agree its a rabbit.....look at photo of it without head in view,and you may see what I mean re colouring.....

Industrial rabbit with road sense
Just using a combo of photos to create some fun.



Perhaps we can all learn something from this, he definatly looks left then he definatly looks right and in his mind the coast was clear, then he crossed the road.

I think the rabbit would disagree with which way he is looking...
