Baby cottontails are perhaps the cutest wild animals in existence, especially when they try to hide in plain sight. This one inexplicably stopped just short of a bridge that would have completely hidden it. Perhaps it thought that we’d be confused by the rebar right behind it, thinking it was a snake.
