RABBITS You'll probably see several species of rabbits while visiting Bryce Canyon
and Zion National Parks. Black-tailedjackrabbits, easily recognized by their tall
ears and black tails, are observed frequently along the cliffs at the rim of Bryce
Canyon, and throughout Zion. Usually gaunt-looking, with mostly gray fur, they
have large hind feet. The cute desertcottontails are also found at both parks, al-
though mostly at Zion in grasslands below 5,000 feet of elevation. Desert cotton-
tails are usually a brownish gray, with black-tipped ears and a trademark tail that
looks just like a little white ball of cotton. Both species are favorite foods of the
coyote.
