Golden Eagle Art Gallery is pleased to offer an extensive collection of world-renowned artworks by Canadian wildlife artist, Robert Bateman.  World-travelled and well versed, Bateman always tells a great story about each of his creations. Here is what he has to say about this piece: 

"The baby cottontail has left his nest. He was born about a month ago, blind, pink and thumb-size. His mother had made a nest of rootlets, grasses and down from her own chest.  The four to seven babies are covered with a quilt of these materials when the mother leaves the nest, making a perfect protection and camouflage."
