Eastern Cottontails in Seattle: Adapting and Thriving

🐇 A little rabbit roaming happily through Queen Anne Hill, Seattle — but did you know? The wild rabbit population here is mostly made up of Eastern cottontails, an introduced species that has adapted to urban life remarkably well. These bunnies can often be spotted in Seattle’s parks and residential neighborhoods, grazing on grass and shrubs. While cute, they’re part of a broader conversation about how non-native wildlife species thrive in city environments. 🌿 Next time you see one, pause and enjoy the moment — Seattle’s urban wildlife is full of surprises. #SeattleWildlife #QueenAnneHill #UrbanNature #EasternCottontail #WildlifeInTheCity #SeattleLife
