. Lagomorphs <br />When the pre-mining wildlife studies began in 1974, Lagomorph numbers were extremely <br />low. The CDOW estimated jackrabbit densities at 4.0 animals/square mile and cottontail <br />densities at about 10.0 animals/square mile in 1974. Observations from 1974-1979 showed a <br />stead increase in numbers with a peak probably occurring in 1979. Cyclic population <br />fluctuations of these two species is a common occurrence which makes it difficult to <br />accurately estimate numbers. <br />Relative abundance, presence, and probably habitat of Lagomorphs are set forth in Table l 1, <br />Wildlife Species that Occur or are Likely to Occur in the Colowyo Permit Area. <br />u <br />u <br />2.04. ] 1-22 <br />
