Description

The swamp rabbit, or swamp hare, is a large cottontail rabbit found in the swamps and wetlands of the southern United States. Other common names for the swamp rabbit include marsh rabbit and cane-cutter. The species has a strong preference for wet areas, and it will take to the water and swim.

Swamp rabbits are found in the Gulf Coast and south-central region of the United States. Swamp rabbits are well named—they prefer to live in swampy lowlands, floodplains, cypress swamps, and along edges of rivers and creeks. The rabbits are often found near water and in the cover of thickets, stumps, or fallen trees. They spend the day under cover and emerge at dusk to forage. Predators of swamp rabbits include the American alligator, raptors, bobcats, gray foxes, coyotes, snakes, dogs, and humans.
