New England Cottontail Rabbit Photo Gallery

It's very hard to tell the difference between the New England Cottontail Rabbit and it's look-alike cousin, the Eastern Cottontail. The first several photos are, to the best of our experts' knowledge, true NE Cottontails.

If you have a photo you'd like to share, send us an email. Please include your name, and where you took the picture. While it's nearly impossible for us to know if it's a true NE Cottontail, we'll post it on our site, along with your name, and the location you took the picture.
