Free Guillermo!


This morning was a special occasion--we got to watch a worker from Chihuahuan Desert Wildlife Rescue release the little cottontail bunny we found here at COC over two weeks ago along with a companion cottontail that had been rehabilitated, too. Here's a photo of the two of them (still pretty small) in the carrying crate.
The wildlife rehabilitator releases the rabbits under a thick mesquite tree that has a lot of protective undergrowth.
The rabbits got along well together in rehab, and may stick with each other for awhile. Instinctively, they'll know what to eat. Let's hope they are able to survive
