Last night we heard a rabbit screaming followed by loud grunts and hisses. What animal would make those sounds? Pretty scary!

Many species of predators will take rabbits. It is hard to know without hearing the sounds myself what animal it might have been. Foxes or coyotes are likely candidates. Or possibly bobcat. Domestic cats and dogs will also kill rabbits.
