Swamp Rabbit

Swamp rabbits live in swamps as you can imagine. But they also live in marshland, and by rivers. They mostly live in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, but they also live in Texas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, and Georgia. Male swamp rabbits weigh from 4-5.6 lbs.(1.8-2.5 kg). Females weigh from 3.6-4.8 lbs.(1.6-2.7 kg). They are 17.8-21.7 inches (45-55 cm), with an average length of about 19.7 inches (50 cm). Male swamp rabbits will sometimes get into fights, when they do they stand on they back feet and use their teeth and claws to injure or even kill their opponent. They eat tree bark, tree saplings, twigs, shrubs, grass and sledges. They will also eat their droppings, but they only do that once per dropping then it comes out a second time dark brown or black. And I can’t seem to find any predators so, ya.
