Title: Found pet rabbit (Seattle - Central District / Atlantic) LOL!
Post by: UrbanTrapper on July 30, 2020, 07:54:10 PM: There are rabbits ALL over the place this year, even IN the City of Seattle. Amazing that some people know so little about wildlife that they are certain this rabbit they saw is a pet. SMH.

I have never seen this many rabbits before.

bobcats and coyote populations follow rabbit boom and busts plenty of both will be around this fall.
