It might astonish you, but the truth is that rabbits are good swimmers! In fact, all species in the rabbit family, whether they are little dwarf hoots or full bodied Flemish giants, can swim effortlessly.
Their forelimbs and hind limbs help them propel their bodies through water. It is said that the animals develop this ability as early as 8 to 15 days from birth.
In fact, some rabbits love spending time in water. Swamp rabbits spend most of their active time in water-bodies. These rabbits live in low lying wet lands and marshes. While most rabbits are not fast swimmers, and may not outsmart their predators, swamp rabbits are accomplished swimmers.
