Hallands Menved thank you for that sentiment! Farmers with the governments backing have admitted to killing millions of wildlife to protect their money/farmed animals. They invade open land where wildlife have the only places to live and destroy their habitat and sources of food and then expect them to quietly die of hunger and give up on surviving nicely?
If you include hares in that question, yes they're everywhere. Antarctica is the only continent where there are no lagomorphi (family of hares, rabbits and pikas), and in Austronesia they are non-indigenous but unfortunately humans have brought them there to misbalance the biotopes.
As a teenager in Montgomery,Alabama, I witnessed something amazing! I saw one of these rabbits (the locals called swamp buck rabbits) that some beagle hounds were chasing run by me at about 20 feet away and dive headfirst into a swamp lake and disappear under water much like a beaver. It never reappeared and I assumed that it swam over into some nearby weeds to resurface and must've barely stuck its nose above the water to breath and stay hidden! I never heard of anyone else mention seeing this but myself. They can definitely swim underwater!
I'm from Louisiana, it's very rare to see the baby bunnies, they are SO fast and SO CUTE when you get a glimpse of one it's like a miracle from heaven. I saw one the other day! Made my day! 🥰
Theoretically, if their environment requires them to get larger, maybe to cross larger bodies of water or escape predators, they certainly will! And longer legs would allow for better escapes. If giving the time and motivation, I think they could evolve to be more deer like
To be honest, as a bunny owner for over 7 years, seeing a wild bunny in it's nature is the most beautiful thing I seen 😭. My bunny LOVES to hop around and chase after you 😂
So cute! Our last rabbit - Tux - a Netherland Dwarf, would swim around when we'd take her to the beaches around the Puget Sound. It was at first such a surprise that rabbits swim...or as you said - bunny paddle. :)
because they are much fewer than humans hehe. if you hunted humans for their meat and skin too, i think humans would also get better at social distancing ;)
Here in Australia ECHIDNAS (NOT American ant eaters that shoot quills) can swim. Seen it myself. I am in the right area that I used to be like a pied piper of these RARELY seen animals. They're not endangered or rare but they're so shy and scared that I have cousins who have NEVER seen them in the wild. I would see them every second week almost GUARANTEED for months on end. I even have footage of them walking along in the grass. They generally curl up into a ball when they know you're there.
I have a female pet rabbit and she doesn´t like the rain or the water sprinkling on her, so it´s funny watching these "swamp bunnies" swimming. Amazing footage delivered, thank you for having shared it
Maybe. But they said that swamp rabbits are shy. What attacked Jimmy Carter was very aggressive, which sounds more like a nutria, which, for the untrained eye, would be difficult to distinguish from a rabbit while swimming. :-)
I would love to see a documentary on how you make these videos. The filming, the editing, it’s all so amazing! How much is staged? How much is just being patient for the right shot? How many cameras do you have at one location? So many questions!!!!!
@@lanialost1320 Kinda sucks how if that happens, more land is gonna have to be cleared and these rabbits get shot up anyway from trying to eat the product. Not to mention all the pesticides and herbicides.

Marceline Ingot that’s not true. Get woke. You just don’t know what you don’t know. Please watch the Game Changer on Netflix or TH-cam. Athletes are all turning plane based and if they can do it so can everyone.
I wonder what the first swimming rabbit thought. Rabbits: ah crap, a lake, I guess we better go around... First swimming rabbit: well hold on, why can't we just kinda' paddle through it? Rabbits: LOL Jack you're hilarious. Stop fooling around and hop like you're supposed to.
Okay, they live in swamps, but raises the question: what do their burrows look like? Must be hard to find suitable ground for warrens to raise their young right?
Is it me or are these videos way too short? I swear I get so sucked in, then the next thing you know, it's over. I love these videos. Thank you so much for taking the time in making them :)
I was hunting near the Mississippi River when I seen two swamp rabbits run / swim across the marsh underneath my Deerstand, and they can really swim my god. And they run just like a whitetail.
People are so misinformed about domestic rabbits so please do not watch this video and think you can get your domestic rabbit wet. Their fur has a hard time drying and they can die of pneumonia very quickly.
Would be interesting to see how these rabbits continue to evolve. They may have continued to grow, to become deer sized perhaps. Or they could have adapted more and more to swimming and finding food in the water. Very interesting.
However, if you give a domesticated rabbit a bath they will die. Their fur has been bred over thousands of years to grow thicker and denser, thus trapping any moisture close to the skin. Water directly next to the skin can cause hypothermia, fur rot, shock, and attract parasites. Do not bathe your bunnies. This all depends on how deep the water is, fur density, rabbit breed, and how well they’re dried but even so if put in a large body of water domesticated rabbits might not even die of these things but of fright, and their fur is incredibly hard to dry (coming from experience) so avoid bathing your rabbits as much as you can (and of course don’t be putting them in large bodies of water!) **Rabbit safety first!**
We have these rabbits where I hunt in sc . These rabbits are huge !!!! First time I saw one 25 years ago I couldn’t believe how big they were . At that time I had never heard of swamp rabbits . I don’t see them as much as I used too but when I do see them there is no question what it is .
Man..it is always .invigorating.and Calming to see a species that little is known about.and to see them in their own world..with all the upset going on in this Troubled world..it is So nice to have an Escape and put ones mind on something good.Thank you..for this Video👍
Here in the Ms Delta we used to have bunches of these. We call them Cane Cutters and Swampers. Twice the size of the little Cotton Tails. Now? You are lucky to see one at all.
The swimming rabbits are very common in swamps, I'm surprised that it took this long for them to wind up on TV. I've encountered people here on YT who breed them.
Both Swamp rabbits and Jackrabbit are lagomorphs. However, jackrabbits are actually hares and not rabbits. Swamp rabbits are part of the cottontail genus, Sylvilagus. Jackrabbits are part of the hare genus, Lepus.

We did. We put out the fire.. that’s why it’s in the water 😂
Hallands Menved why think humans have to extinguish rabbits? Save all wildlife!
Chris K I don't think wildlife should be killed. But farmers tend to kill everything that might hamper their production.

This does not mean you should put your domestic rabbits into large body of waters, they’re not like these swamp rabbits
Isamic Lots of domestic bunnies like to swim.
I knew someone who tried to make their rabbit swim. Poor thing developed aspiration pneumonia.
Lauren Grimes no! I don’t care if they enjoy it, it’s really dangerous.

The incident is on Wikipedia.
He died from his injuries. u.u
He was drinking too much Billes beer

Rural rabbits have adapted to its environment and developed the skills to survive in swamp area, jumping and swimming.
In Louisiana we just call them rabbits. Didn't know a swimming rabbit was such a big deal. Here you pretty much swim or die.
