Cottontail rabbits can live up to 10 years old. They vary in color from a dark brown to a light gray and typically are colored to match their surroundings. Cottontail rabbits have powerful hind legs they can use to jump more than a meter with a running start. Cottontails can run 30 kilometers a hour. You can find them around tall grass and in clumps of sage brush.They can survive the winter by burrowing under the ground in holes and under types of bushes. To not be seen by predators they hide under plants or bushes.
