The Yellow-nosed Cotton Rat is moderately small to medium in size; dorsal hairs are dark gray at their bases and tipped with brown, but pelage is also dotted with yellow hairs that provide an overall grizzled grayish color. Venter is white, but gray bases of hairs are visible. Tail is bicolored, dark on top and gray below. Eyes are ringed in yellow. Distinct ocherous nose is conspicuous, underscoring its common name and distinguishing the Yellow-nosed Cotton Rat from all species

Length of breeding season of the Yellow-nosed Cotton Rat varies geographically, with young born essentially year-round in some areas but seasonally in others. At the northern end of the distribution in Arizona and Texas, breeding season is in March—October. In all areas, individual females likely produce multiple litters in a season. Gestation is ¢.35 days, and litters have 2-9 young. Young are precocial, gain 2 g/
