Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Damage by rabbits is identified by the appearance of gnawing on older woody growth and the clean-cut, angled clipping of young stems. Distinctive round droppings in the immediate area also are a sign of the presence of rabbits.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tree bark is a favorite winter food for rabbits, and the tender bark of young trees is especially vulnerable to their sharp, gnawing teeth. Damage to trees is greatest when rabbit populations are high or when winters are severe.
