Answer:

In earlier generations, the rabbits that looked most like their surroundings survived and reproduced.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The cotton-tailed rabbits consist of 20 species that are found in America and have stubby tales with white under them. They're distributed over north, central, and southern America.
  • They live in nests called forms, have an average life span of 2 years. Due to their camaflugeous nature, they change their coat color twice every year to protect themselves from predators.
