Baby bunnies rescued from zoo enclosure

• The cottontails were about 4 weeks old when they were discovered and less than 3 inches long.
• Considering the danger posed by their well-meaning but much larger roommates, personnel relocated the rabbits to Greenwood.

Caveat: Wildlife officials generally encourage the public to try and reunite rather than rescue baby animals.

What's next: Mysti Tatro, community relations manager for Greenwood, said the rabbits will be housed in one of the facility's enclosures until they are old enough to hopefully be released back into the wild.

Zoom out: Spring is a busy time for Greenwood, which as of April 23 has taken in 140 fox squirrels, 159 rabbits, 130 birds and 76 waterfowl.
