I found this rabbit on campus. As I tried to get closer to the rabbit it hopped further away from me. I often see rabbits on campus and many of them allow me to get close to them although this one did not seem as comfortable. I also see many of these rabbits in the suburbs. The rabbits in the suburbs do not let me get as close to them as the ones on campus do.

I found the Eastern Cottontail also walking back from class. Around campus, there are so many of this species of rabbit seen and constantly reproducing. This rabbit is a species that I have commonly seen in the city and also in the suburbs of Illinois. Normally, seeing these rabbits on campus, they seem much more relaxed and comfortable with human presence than the ones I have seen in the suburbs. This is something that they have become accustomed to and you can find them laying around campus with no trouble and in large families as well.
