The scent of ripe mackerel lured Black-tailed jack to the badger dig.
That's my guess, because the lagomorph's appetite for protein is high when forage is coarse and low in protein.
When a doe rabbit eats her neonates, the husbandryman's advice it to feed her more protein.
Back to Jack.
Ever vigilant, he startled.
Then he returned to examine the burrow wherein the ensconced can emitted its bacterial bouquet.

That's one wary wabbit!
ReplyDeleteSnowshoe hares have been known to raid traps that are baited for carnivores. They probably are tempted by meat for the same reason as this jackrabbit.
ReplyDeleteBTW, snowshoe hares are the closest things to jackrabbits we have around here, and both are hares in the genus Lepus.
Did he start off with a little dust bath in the tailings of the hole?
ReplyDeleteThanks, y'all.
ReplyDeleteNo dust bath preceded these pictures. RT.
One more post on the badger dig to come.
It was very interesting for me to read the article. Thank you for it. I like such themes and everything that is connected to them. I definitely want to read a bit more soon.
