Yes, there are 'bunnies' in the Sonoran Desert - cottontails and jackrabbits.
Cottontails get much of the water they require from the food they eat.

Cottontails are quite adaptable and can survive in a variety of habitats. They are also very prolific breeders so produce a large number of offspring each year.
Many species of cottontail are commonly referred to as, "Jack-rabbits."
An endangered species that live in the desert is the Desert Tortoise. It lives in the Mojave Desert and the Sonoran Desert.
Desert cottontails adapted to life in the chaparral biome by becoming active only during the early morning and late evening hours to keep themselves cool. During the hottest months of the year, they conserve energy and moisture by laying very still.
They really are endangered.
In the deserts of the United States, both cottontails and jack rabbits can be found in the deserts.
