What is a swamp rabbit?

Swamp Rabbits are a species of wild rabbit, scientifically known as Sylvilagus aquaticus, native to the wetlands of the southeastern United States. They are known for their strong swimming abilities and preference for habitats near water sources like swamps, marshes, and riverbanks. Swamp Rabbits are larger than most other cottontail rabbits and have a distinctive dark brown fur with a white underbelly. Their diet mainly consists of grasses and other vegetation found in wetland environments.
