Cottontail rabbits are small although females may be slightly larger than males. Because they look so similar, the best way to tell whether they are female or male is to catch it and look at its genitalia to see what sex it is.

Male cottontail rabbits are typically larger than females, with a more robust build and larger territories. Females have a dewlap, a fold of skin under their chin, which is absent in males. Additionally, males have a scent gland located on their chin that they use to mark territory and attract mates.
