  Swamp Rabbit Ecology
They are distinguished by their generally larger size and darker coloration; proportionately shorter and rounder ears; coarser body fur that is dark grayish or yellowish brown with coarse fl peppering or mottling on the head and upperside of the body; a cinnamon colored eye-ring, a rusty
The underparts, including the underside of the tail, are white except for the buffy-gray underside of the neck and chest.
Unlike other Sylvilagus in which females are slightly larger than males, there apparently is no size difference between male and female swamp rabbits.

 Research Issues in San Diego Prehistory - Small Mammals
Two genera of lagomorphs (Lepus, hares; and Sylvilagus, rabbits) and at least eight genera of rodents (Dipodomys, kangaroo rats; Microtus, voles; Neotoma, wood rats; Perognathus and Peromyscus, mice; Sciurus, grey squirrels; Spermophilus, ground squirrels; and Thomomys, gophers) are represented with some frequency.
Lepus was procured, at least in part, by organized, communal drives, whereas Sylvilagus audubonii and rodents were probably procured through "encounter" hunting or by the use of traps.
Discussing the predominance of Sylvilagus bachmani remains at SDM-W-143/146, Reynolds noted that brush rabbits "are quite small animals and difficult to procure....Since food was not in short supply, it seems likely that brushrabbit was a preferred food" (Cardenas and Robbins-Wade 1985:Appendix H).

Sylvilagus brasiliensis (Linnaeus, 1758), running across the trail at a distance of about 4 m from the observing point.
Sylvilagus brasiliensis are nocturnal animals, and tayras are primarily diurnal (Emmons and Feer 1997).

 Proceedings of the Oklahoma Academy of Science
Errington (4) found that 68.5% of 4,838 winter pellets and stomachs contained lagomorph remains in the northcentral states and stated that rabbits constituted the staple winter fare of the great horned owl over most of its range.
Sylvilagus was the most important food item in both percent occurrence and percent of biomass during spring, and Rattus was second (Table 2).
From these data, it is apparent that Sigmodon hispidus ranked highest in over-all percent occurrence and a close second to Sylvilagus in total percent of biomass, this despite the fact that Sylvilagus is approximately seven times larger than Sigmodon.

Rabbits are distinguished from the related hares in that they are altricial, having young that are born blind and hairless; many also live underground in burrows.
