Mountain cottontails are small rabbits that are generally confined to the intermountain area of North America, especially the Western United States. The species ranges from just above the US-Canada border all the way south to Arizona and New Mexico and from the foothills of the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains and west to the eastern slopes of the Cascade-Sierra Nevada. The mountain cottontail species generally survive in a large range of elevations of up to 6,000 feet.

If they feel threatened by a larger animal, such as coyotes, bobcats, lynxes, or rattlesnakes, the rabbit will hop away in a semicircular path to try and trick the oncoming predator.
