I saw this bunny on the beach. Besides its small ears, what else makes it different from the Cottontail Rabbits commonly seen in fields and forests?
Answer:
This is a Marsh Rabbit, native along the coast of Florida. They live in and around salt marshes and in the dunes at the beach. They tend to walk instead of hopping, and they spend a lot of time swimming. If they are threatened, they are likely to leap into the water and swim to safety.
