Brush Rabbit Additional Ounce Stamps, 2021 Sheet – Additional Postage for Letters Over 1 Ounce

Brush rabbits were named after the dense vegetation in which they make their homes. These brush piles or clumps of brambles disguise a complex network of trails the rabbits use to get around. While many rabbit species dig their own burrows, brush rabbits do not. They sometimes use burrows dug by other animals, but often do not use burrows at all.

Many rabbit species are hunted for their meat or fur. Brush rabbits, on the other hand, are usually left alone due to their small size. Today, their numbers are holding steady and they are a species of least concern for becoming endangered or extinct.
