From their masterful evasion tactics to their remarkable sensory adaptations, discover how these unassuming creatures have thrived for millions of years despite being on nearly every predator's menu. Life in nature may be "nasty, brutish, and short," but the cottontail's evolutionary success story proves that sometimes it's not the strongest that survive, but the most adaptable. Join us for an eye-opening look at these backyard wonders that are far more extraordinary than they first appear.
