With Easter only 11 days away, I think it’s the perfect time for a bunny photo!
These little, round marsh rabbits are a common sight at Jaycee Beach; not surprising since females begin breeding at nine months and reproduce several times a year!
Litters consist of 4-5 young born in fur-lined nests on the ground. The babies are weaned in less than 3 weeks when they start eating tender green plants and clover. 🙂
Adult marsh rabbits are approximately 15″ long, with small hindlegs and feet that facilitate swimming among the local coastal islands. When on land, they prefer walking over hopping.
If you arrived here via my blog’s home page you may have noticed the badge for National Wildlife Week. I highly recommend visiting their site and getting involved with their tree planting initiative, Branch Out For Wildlife.
Until next time……
🙂 🙂 🙂
