Black-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus californicus) at Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix, Arizona.
None of the animals or birds at the botanical garden are captive, but many of the critters that live on the grounds become habituated to people. I have never encountered a more laid back jackrabbit than this fellow. When I see them in truly wild conditions they vanish before I can lift my camera. This one was practically posing.
