The Swamp Rabbit (Sylvilagus aquaticus) is a medium-sized rabbit native to the southeastern United States. It typically inhabits wetlands, swamps, and riverbanks, where it feeds on grasses, aquatic plants, and other vegetation. Swamp Rabbits are known for their strong swimming abilities, which help them escape predators. These rabbits have long ears, powerful hind legs, and a distinctive dark brown or grayish coat. Unlike other rabbit species, Swamp Rabbits are more solitary and territorial. They are primarily active during dawn and dusk, making them crepuscular animals. Their populations are affected by habitat loss and hunting pressures.
