Cottontails mostly live in brushy country and are solitary creatures, active mostly between dusk and dawn. They often spend the sunny days in shallow depressions or in the shelter of a thicket. Cottontails eat vegetation, both herbaceous and woody, even cacti; rarely do cottontails rabbits need to drink, getting their water mostly from the plants they eat or from dew. Reproduction takes place throughout the warmer months, with females giving birth to two to six litters of four to seven kits. Such high birth rates obviously must be balanced by high death rates or ecosystems would be overwhelmed by cottontails. Coyotes, foxes, hawks, and owls eat adults. Weasels and rattlesnakes prey on the young, and disease and parasites take a toll on all age groups. Maximum life span in the wild is no more than about a year. Cottontails do not change color in the winter, they remain light brown.
