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 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.

I was deer hunting in GA. Two foxes came trotting out of the woods looking for something. They scared up a rabbit and it ran straight into the creek below my tree stand and swam downstream. The foxes got to the edge of the water and sniffed around a few seconds then left. One of the coolest things I saw while hunting. Smart rabbit.
Bwhahaha! Swimming rabbits. Now I've seen it all.

@Solomon0424

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.
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.
Even though they swim like dogs, it reminds me of hippos, with the way their heads barely poke out of the water.
Supreme appreciation for the cameraman .
And this is how whales started!

They live abundantly in the SC high country. They are the namesake and mascot of everything in Greenville SC, including our hockey team and greenway.
