Today's section is about Swamp Rabbits(Sylvilagus aquaticus)
They can SWIM! They are really smart, too.
One swamp rabbits attacked Jimmy Carter when he was president! (Did the bunny go to jail for that? Haha!) Want more info? Read on!
The incident, dubbed the "killer rabbit" attack by the media, involved a swamp rabbit furiously trying to board then-U.S. President Jimmy Carter's fishing boat on April 20, 1979. Press Secretary Jody Powell mentioned the event to Associated Press correspondent Brooks Jackson on August 28, 1979, who filed the story with the wire service the following day. The story "President Attacked by Rabbit" was carried across the front page of The Washington Post, though the White House's refusal to release the photograph resulted in the newspaper using a cartoon parody of the Jaws poster labeled "PAWS" as its illustration. Funny, but...swamp rabbits can vicious, and Carter could have been hurt.
They are not endangered at all! They can be found in swamps and wetlands in the south of the United States.
They are fairly large in size, and they are commonly brown.
Status: Common, Lower Risk
