Swamp rabbit

The swamp rabbit (Sylvilagus aquaticus), 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 likes to live in wet areas, and can swim. This is the type of rabbit which allegedly attacked Jimmy Carter, a former American president, in the Jimmy Carter rabbit incident (also known as a "killer rabbit attack") once.
