My first run-in with a swimming rabbit happened in the form of a dream. For many years, I thought this was a purely metaphorical vision; real rabbits likely couldn’t swim! But I found out later that a particular kind of rabbit — the marsh rabbit — indeed thrives in water environments.
Just this year, the marsh rabbit was finally captured on video! It’s quite a miraculous sight: watch it here!
