Lepus californicus Among Cylindropuntia bigelovii

            A black-tailed jack rabbit goes about its morning routine, foraging around the base of the teddy bear cholla in Joshua Tree National Park.

The teddy bear cholla provide a bit of protection for the rabbit from predators.  Larger mammal and avian predators  may have a difficult time navigating this grove without picking up numerous spines from the cacti.

For the moment, this rabbit didn't seem to have a care in the world.
