@thedesertwhisperer: Enjoy part 4 of a Hare "Antelope Jackrabbit " eating a pink cushion cactus! 🐰🌵It took him about 27 minutes from beginning to end. Antelope Jackrabbits eat cactus by nibbling off small portions, carefully navigating around larger spines, and scraping off the tiny, barbed hairs (glochidia) from the areoles. Their small, nimble mouths and claws allow them to consume the soft flesh of the cactus, and they also get vital water and nutrients from these plants, especially during droughts. #antelopejackrabbit #weroamarizona #koldnews13 #arizona_hiking #azwildlife
