    @Bos Thousands of rabbits every year? Wow! How did you do with those carcasses? Throw away, or....

    Plenty around Omaha, I wondered if the cats would have a go at them. Nina went up recently, took about 8 minutes from when she arrived to the first one down.

    My money is on it being a rabbit, gotta admit it sits like hares frequently do.

    Yep even at such a juvenile age it ticks two boxes on the ID list.
    Longer legs and colour.
    BTW we only have the European here, hair,hare.
    Oh 3 if you note the eye colour and four the longer guard hair / here on the hare there.

    Perhaps we can all learn something from this, he definatly looks left then he definatly looks right and in his mind the coast was clear, then he crossed the road.

    I think the rabbit would disagree with which way he is looking...
