“While driving, we all watch out for animals that might be crossing the road but no one ever tells you to watch out for ones falling from the sky…
That’s exactly what happened with this eastern cottontail. She was picked up by a hawk and mid flight, the bird of prey lost control of her and dropped her right in front of a moving car. Talk about having a bad day!
The people driving the car saw her fall and brought her directly to Adey Wildlife, where she received care for her wounds. Joanne Adey noticed this particular rabbit was producing milk.
There was no way to find out where she came from and bring her back to whatever nest she may have. The bird could have carried her for miles. But Joanne had eight baby bunnies with no mother and thought maybe this mama cottontail would be willing to care for them.
Despite all this mama had been through, she readily adopted these eight tiny orphans. The rehabilitators at Adey Wildlife Rehabilitation are true miracle workers. They took a really bad situation and turned it into something beautiful.
We just had to give them some credit. This was a truly amazing rescue.”

Do you want some nice reference to differentiate a Cottontail rabbit from a European? Either for drawing or for just curiosity?
Simple, look at its face:
If has little "normal" eyes is european
If it looks like "O_O" is a cottontail.

Not sure if these are even the same bunny because I didn’t wanna get closer and scare them off but are they eastern cottontails or New England cottontails? Are there any rabbit experts to help me?
