What hunts bunnies?

Many animals hunt bunnies! Here are some common predators:

Mammals:

* Foxes: Red foxes, grey foxes, and others are known bunny hunters.

* Coyotes: These canids are opportunistic hunters and will readily take down rabbits.

* Wolves: While not as common in areas where rabbits are plentiful, wolves will eat rabbits if they're available.

* Bobcats: These wild cats are skilled hunters of rabbits.

* Weasels: Long-bodied, fierce hunters, weasels can even squeeze into burrows to catch rabbits.

* Raccoons: Though they prefer fruits and insects, raccoons will eat rabbits if given the chance.

* Badgers: These animals have powerful claws and can dig rabbits out of their burrows.

* Hawks: Several hawk species, like the red-tailed hawk, prey on rabbits.

* Owls: Great horned owls and other owls are nocturnal hunters and often prey on rabbits.

* Snakes: Garter snakes, rattlesnakes, and other snakes will eat rabbits if they can overpower them.

* Birds of Prey: Hawks, owls, eagles, and other birds of prey will hunt rabbits.

Other:

* Domestic Cats: While not wild, cats can pose a threat to rabbits, especially those living in areas where cats have access.

* Dogs: Some dogs, particularly terriers, have a natural instinct to hunt rabbits.

It's important to note that the presence of predators helps regulate rabbit populations and keeps the ecosystem in balance.
