M,' : 3iT ims wetiana rabitt resembles a cottontail that has lost it's cottony . tail and which has developed shor ter, wider ears and narrower, short- haired hijid feet. The general impres sion is that the Marsh Rabbit is darker than the Cottontail with the back rather heavily peppered with black and with the brown more rusty than that of the Cottontail. Pure white seems to be lacking in this rabbit though it is gray on the under part of the tail. Because of its preference for wet spots, we find a number of appro priate common names given the animal. It is called Pontoon, Wet Rabbit and Water Rabbit with min or modification of these terms at times and in some regions. The total length of a Marsh Rab bit is just over 17 inches while a Cottontail may be an inch and a half longer. The weight of the two animals may be about the same. The comDarative nakednes of the hind feet of the Marsh Rabbit is appropri ate to the need of an animal whose hind feet may frequently become wet and which must be dried out and also appropriate for the needs of that animal to do considerable swimming now and then. The Marsh Rabbit ranges through' the coastal area of the United States from southern Virginia to Alabama with two recognized sub species being found In Florida. It should not be confused with the larger Swamp. Babbit. While I the cottontial and the Marsh Babbit may not exceed 3' 1-2' pounds in weight, the Swamp Rabbit may reach a weight of 6 pounds. Like the Cottontial, the Swamp Rabbit is pure .white under the tail Marsh Rabbits are active mostly at night and their presence in the day time may be indicated by the injury they may cause to the plants on which they feed. They establish rather definite trails in their home territory and may rest in identical spots day after day, even though they may move about freely at night or at dusk or dawn. Usually 2 to 4 young are born, probably about 5 or 6 weeks after breeding begins in early Febuary nnd there are orobably a number of Utters- born' during- the year. The young are at first protected in a sunken nest" lined with fur and well hidden Even after the young rabbit are weaned, they may re turn to the old nest site for some days before becoming more inde pendent. Because of the preference of these animals for marsh lands, they do comparatively little damage to agri cultural crops which are not norm ally cultivated in such places. They will he found in areas flooded by brackish water but prefer fresh water situations. The rabbit will dig up the underground portions of plants of their range. They swim readily and strongly and in hot weather may prefer to rest in the water rather than on dry ground. Because of the limited range these mammals are not so well knowa as some of their relatives, but it f LET THE TRACTOR : !3 'I I si Cwp iw C fc Aqricultural t0Mi If I ,1- Mmmoniaf ill :::: f II ji ) I protection.
