Where are the Rabbits

Winter’s cooler temperatures and lack of vegetation forces wild rabbits to spend more time in search of food. They often seek shelter in underground dens they have lined with grass, straw and twigs as insulators. The winter months aren’t tough on wild rabbits solely due to the lack of food. This is the time when humans and other animal predators target them as prey. Game and Fish Magazine states that wild rabbits are hunted in the winter months by house cats and bobcats on the ground and by hawks, owls and other feathered predators from the sky.

Now you know what happens to the rabbits. I miss seeing them running around in my yard. This photo was taken from my deck in my backyard during the summer.

  1. You just reminded me, I got scared by a rabbit on Tuesday. giggles. It jumped out of a bush and ran across the trail, it was a jack rabbit, and I thought it was a coyote at first. They are huge!!
