The desert cottontail (Sylvilagus audubonii), also known as Audubon's cottontail, is a New World cottontail rabbit, and a member of the family Leporidae.Unlike the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), they do not form social burrow systems, but compared with some other leporids, they are extremely tolerant of other individuals in their vicinity.
Cottontail rabbits are in the Sylvilagus genus, which is in the Leporidae family. They are found in the Americas . [ 1 ] Most Sylvilagus species have stub tails with white undersides that show when they retreat, giving them their characteristic name.
