A timely visitation by two wild cottontails, nibbling the backyard grass and playing hopscotch.

I like the positioning of the rabbits very much, the even distances to the different borders make it interesting. And both being in the same orientation. A nice shot!
-
lastest news. nothing is as peaceful as it seems…
(btw, could you catch them (with your hands I mean) if you wanted to? or do they lap too fast?) =D
-
thanks y’all.
Alieness: They are WAY too fast. They have a lot of practice being prey.
So I had to use the holy hand grenade.

Holy smokes… or grenades.
That prey thing… you said somewhere that predators have the eyes on their front (to hunt) while preys on their sides (to watch out). Voilá un exemple! Cool.
With you I don´t miss the Discovery Channel anymore. Only thing I missed with the Cartoon Network. (No TV home)

Yes, side eyes can cover more surroundings, while superimposed field eyes (front) allow better measuring of distance (to target).

Does that make horses and donkeys prey? They can’t see straight ahead, but they can see from their noses to their tails on each side. I guess they are prey to mountain lions or pumas.
My cousin Roger and I used to "hunt" rabbits when we were about 5yrs old by getting a carrot, a cardboard box, a long string and a forked stick. My cousin and I would tie the string to the stick and prop up the box on the forked part of it. The carrot was bait for the rabbits, under the box. We got bored waiting for rabbits to magically appear to get their favorite snack and gave up after 5 or 10 minutes.

ya know, Jack rabbits carry a lot of serious diseases and are the mortal enemy of we strawberry farmers. My new bolt action .17 Hornady Magnun Rimfire is a very good crop protector down here in rural San Diego. But the bunnies do look cute coming out of my .25-acre strawberry patch all smeared wuth strawberry juice. but the photos are of hares, not rabbits. Jack rabbits are actually hares, cottontails are true rabbits both are traif.

Jim, pardon my ignorance, but your last word "traif" got me a while searching on the net for its meaning, and I am not sure of my finding… Does it mean or is it related to this (could be for the context)?
"Traif – Forbidden food, impure, contrary to the Jewish dietary laws, non-kosher" (source)
I´d really like to know. Thx! =)
