Newest arrival at DVWR

A baby jackrabbit will receive TLC while at DVWR. Cornered by a dog, the baby was retrieved and arrived as a 5 day old leveret, the name for a baby jackrabbit. Even though they are called jackrabbits, the baby is a hare, differing from rabbits with larger size, longer ears and longer hind legs.

After a very specialized treatment plan, the eagle recovered and was transported for release.   The eagle flew to a large cottonwood tree looked around for about twenty minutes then took off for parts unknown.
