...Delurking, since your post triggered a thought I had while watching
the
movie...the battle scene in the movie starts out with shots of rabbits
going
in and out of a warren. I was under the impression that the only species
of
rabbit we have in North America that burrows in the pygmy cottontail out
in
the Pacific Northwest. Am I mistaken, or was this a goof, too?



I have a guy who keeps rabbits on my farm (New England). The ones that
burrow out create burrows around (not in) the fields. They are mixed
varieties, but definitely not pygmies.

Hadn't thought of that...I suppose they could have been a domesticated
European rabbit that someone released... I was focused on wild, native
rabbits, I guess.

Thanks!
