Mammals for a change! A cottontail rabbit. They're either a desert cottontail or an eastern cottontail, I'm not sure which, but the latter is more common where I am. I photographed them after sunset last night. August 2023 Central Texas.

ED1: I suspect the plant the bunny is eating is largely denuded scarlet spiderling (Boerhavia coccinea) the bunnies have been nibbling at for a while.
