Easter Cottontail or New England Cottontail Rabbit

Remember this adorable gamecube sized hare.

It turns out their are two species that are common in Connecticut.

The New England Cottontail Rabbit- which is on the endangered species list

and The Eastern Cottontail Rabbit- which is common and not threatened.

These two species closely resemble each other so much that it is next to

impossible to tell the difference. Unless you have a close view of the head.

  Or DNA work; but why capture a tiny little bunny rabbit just to collect a

blood sample? seriously? just let it live outside.

enjoy these magnificent works of art chow down in your front yard as you take 

pictures if you are quiet and don't advance towards it.

you could feed it vegetables; but chances are that it already has a plethora

of food sources outside.
