The stamp art features a pencil-and-watercolor illustration of a brush rabbit from pre-existing artwork by Dugald Sftermer(1936-2011), an influential magazine designer and wildife illustrator.His penciled calligraphy on the stamp indicates the animal's?common name and scientific classification.

Asmall brownish cottontail rabbit of the U.S. West Coast and Baja Calfornia, Mexico, the brush rabbt lives mostly west of theSierra Nevada range and south of the Oregon-Washington border.Adults are about a foot long and generally weigh between oneand two pounds. Over the course of several litters, a typical female bears about 15 young each year.

The brush rabbit shelters in brush and thicket and feeds on grasses and greens, favoring clover and enjoying berries in season.Gregarious only while feeding, a brush rabbit warns companions of danger by loudly thumping a hind foot on the ground.

Predators include bobcats, hawks, great horned owls, minks, weasels, and snakes.

Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamp.
