Where my son formerly lived in Rye, NH on the seacoast wild rabbits were everywhere. They were also very tame. I had one hop about 6’ in front of me one morning while is was sitting in a chair.
This is a wealthy suburban area where there is no hunting, probably no coyotes, bobcats or other predators to keep them in check. Many people had resorted to fencing in their flower gardens to keep the bunnies from eating them.
What’s odd about where I live is that there are STILL yotes, cats and dogs unleashed in the subdivision at various times of the day and night. I think they’ve just figured out a time when those kinds of predators aren’t out and about. It’s really weird..
I had one hop across, stop 2' in front of me, and eyeball me.
I gently said 'Hi bunny.' and he casually continued on his path.
We have coyotes and hawks here...
They weren’t “tame.” They had just lost fear of people. People in Yellowstone used to think the bears there were “tame” also, until some tourists got too close.
