Cottontail Rabbit
Rabbits are small and generally timid animals that will usually flee from potential threats rather than fight back. Rabbits do have sharp teeth and strong hind legs that they use for defense, but they are not typically aggressive towards humans.

The desert cottontail, also known as Audubon's cottontail, is a New World cottontail rabbit, and a member of the family Leporidae. Unlike the European rabbit, they do not form social burrow systems, but compared with some other leporids, they are extremely tolerant of other individuals in their vicinity.
