How do cottontail rabbits adapt to their environment?
Yes, please! I'd like to know more about how their diet plays a role in their adaptation.
Absolutely. Cottontail rabbits are herbivorous and primarily eat grasses, herbs, and plant stems. They have also been known to eat fruits and berries. Their digestive systems are designed to break down tough plant material, which allows them to extract as many nutrients as possible from their food. This is particularly important in dry or arid environments where food may be scarce. Does that help?
