Their range extends from eastern Montana south into the western tip of Texas and into Mexico and the western part of their range into Nevada, southern California and the Baja.<\/li>\n<li>Their habitat includes dry deserts, dry grasslands and shrublands, sagebrush steppe, pinyon-juniper forests and riparian areas.<\/li>\n<li>Desert Cottontails rarely need to drink, instead they get water mostly from the plants they eat or from dew.<\/li>\n<li>Desert Cottontails can breed at eighty days old and will breed about 8 months of year. A normal litter is about two to six young. The young leave the nest at three weeks of age.<\/li>\n<li>Ninety percent of a Desert Cottontails diet is grass but they will eat plants, forbs, cacti and shrubs. They will also eat the bark from tree branches that are close to the ground.<\/li>\n<li>Desert Cottontails live to about two years old.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope you enjoy viewing my Desert Cottontail
