  • Eastern cottontail rabbit in the early evening in the Charlotte Harbor area near Alligator Creek. This is Florida's most common rabbit.
    Eastern Cottontail
  • White fox squirrel photographed in Tallahassee, Florida. Its white fur is a leucistic trait - the hair is actually white, not colorless - so it's not an albino. Most (up to 80%) of the fox squirrels in this area have this trait, which is unusual compared to their typical dark gray to jet black coloring.
    White Fox Squirrel
  • This white fox squirrel was showing off and having a great time doing flips and attacking twigs! We got quite a laugh from this little guy!
    White Fox Squirrel
  • These white fox squirrels can be infrequently seen in the Big Bend area of the Florida panhandle. This image has been published in the books, "Mammals of Florida" and "Mammals of Georgia" - both fantastic field guides by Stan Tekiela.
    White Fox Squirrel
  • Squirrel in Homosassa Springs, Citrus County, Fl.
    Eastern Gray Squirrel
  • Eastern gray squirrel feeding on some birdseed left out in Naples, Florida. It faced quite a dilemma - run from the camera or eat as much as it could!
    Eastern Gray Squirrel
  • Marsh rabbit warily munching on new green grass in Moore Haven, Florida near the shore of Lake Okeechobee.
    Marsh Rabbit
  • This squirrel was at the top of this dead pine tree barking and chirping and making a huge racket early one morning in the Juniper Springs area in the Ocala National Forest.
    Eastern Gray Squirrel
  • This short-eared and truly aquatic rabbit is known for swimming across ponds and swamps with only nose and eyes above the waterline.
    Marsh Rabbit
  • A pair of baby gray squirrels peeks from their nest in the Florida Everglades. Gray squirrels are perhaps the most adaptable and hardy of all modern squirrel species, and can thrive in the most diverse kinds of habitat. Not only increasing their range in North America, but are beginning to spread into other continents too, wiping out or displacing native populations.
    Baby Eastern Gray Squirrels
  • Common all over the Eastern half of North American, and quickly spreading not only across parts of the American West, but to other continents around the world - the humble eastern cottontail is an explosive breeder. This perfectly camouflaged adult was photographed in Bonita Springs, Florida within an eighth of a mile from where a family of bobcats lives among a tangle of old-growth palmetto palms.
    Eastern Cottontail
  • A juvenile grey squirrel cautiously watches from the safety of height and distance in a tree in the Fakahatchee Strand - part of the Northern Everglades near Naples, Florida.
