=Sylvilagus aquaticus=
Swamp Rabbit
Total length, 530-540; tail, 67-71; hind foot, 105-110; length of ear
from notch (dry), 63-67. Upper parts blackish brown or reddish brown;
underparts with some white; under side of tail white; skull robust;
posterior extensions of supraorbital processes joined for their entire
length with side of braincase or, in some specimens, with a small
foramen between the braincase and the base of the posterior extension of
the supraorbital process. This big rabbit is a stronger runner than the
smaller marsh rabbit and is easily distinguished from the smaller
species by larger size and white, instead of brownish or grayish,
underside of the tail.
