Cottontail + Jack Rabbit Skull Prints

Sale Price:$15.00 Original Price:$20.00

Each one of these prints becomes a study, a close observation of the animal’s skull, it’s orbital cavity, auditory bones, teeth, mandible, everything. These pieces are what allow us to identify an animal from what’s left behind.

This month I chose a comparison between skulls within the Leporidae family. This family includes rabbits, hares, and pikas. I chose to compare a desert cottontail, Sylvilagus audubonii. (rabbit) with a black tailed jack rabbit, Lepus californicus, (actually a hare). You’ll notice main differences in size, nasal bone, and external auditory meatus. Feel free to use the diagram to find more differences between the two species.
