Thanks Dan, love to hear about the adaptations desert animals make to endure the heat and cold.

It is always amazing to learn about those things.

WOW, I had no idea that cotton tails slept with their eyes open, I get to see things that I normally would never see, and I usually always learn something from your posts as well. Thanks so much for shearing.

I'm not sure how often rabbits can do that but even being able to do it is impressive.

I love bunnies! I have a family that lives under my deck. Enjoy watching them bounce around.

So interesting about the ear size and how they drink water. I had a pet bunny a few years ago and she would lay out on the mantle of the fireplace as you described to cool down on hot days. I didn’t know that at the time but after your share I do! Thank you for the beautiful pictures and the time you put into creating a storyline for us with such great information 😊🙏
