Cottontails have many strategies to escape. Their
strong
hind legs and bulgy eyes are assets in escaping and evading predators.
Since They dislike being in the open, Cottontails will run quickly to
find a hiding place. Unlike Hares, Cottontails are swift runners, and
can easily zigzag away
from predators. They flash their white tails to warn any other Rabbit
remaining near by. When pursued by Coyote, Cottontails will run in
circles, often jumping sideways to avoid leaving a scent trail. If
necessary, Cottontail will bowl Ferret over by kicking Him with her
powerful hind legs.
Cottontail Rabbit Sub-Family teaches people that even small helpless ones can defend themselves. They can escape by freezing in place so that none see them, race zigzagging around the ground to evade being caught, or kick with their strong hind legs. People can learn self-defense and courage from Cottontails.
