Rabbits

Throughout the year, gardens are subject to invasion by various species of hares (jackrabbits) and true rabbits (cottontails, brush rabbits, and related types). True rabbits, which give birth to blind, hairless young, usually dig their own shallow burrows or occupy those abandoned by other animals. Hares live above ground: their offspring are born with fur coats and fully developed eyesight, and thus require less protection.
