Material examined. Table 2; Figure 9.

Sylvilagus floridanus is a medium-sized rabbit with a cotton-white tail ( Reid 2009). The study area is at the edge of the distribution range of S. brasiliensis (Linnaeus,

1758). However, S. floridanus and S. brasiliensis are distinguishable because S. floridanus had a white tail and S. brasiliensis had a brown color tail. All our photographs of Sylvilagus specimens are S. floridanus .
