Little Rabbit Climbs Big Sage


Pygmy Rabbit from Chris Wemmer on Vimeo.


I had the good fortune this month to spend a few days in the sage steppe of the eastern Sierra Nevada, where I managed to snag these clips of a pygmy rabbit.

The species has been on my camera trapping bucket list for several years now.

For a lot more about this charming lagomorph, see Nature of a Man Blog, and be sure to search Ken's other posts for a lot more about Pygmy Rabbits.

I am grateful for Ken's help in getting these video clips, and sincerely appreciate the Catani family's efforts to protect  habitat for California's wildlife.

I really enjoyed the commentary, very well done!
Those rabbits are darn cute.
I recently got some video clips (from an IR camera trap) of neophobic rodents. I'll try to find some time this weekend to share it on my blog. ;)
