Which rarer species of rabbit is found in the Delta region's wetlands of Arkansas?

The Swamp Rabbit is indeed the rarer species of rabbit that inhabits the wetlands of the Delta region in Arkansas. This species is adapted to wetland environments and can often be found in areas with abundant vegetation, such as marshes and swamps. The Swamp Rabbit differs from the more commonly found Eastern Cottontail, which prefers upland areas and is widespread across various habitats.

The specific wetland habitats of the Delta region provide essential resources for the Swamp Rabbit, including dense cover for protection and abundant food sources. The other rabbit species listed—such as the Eastern Cottontail, which has a broader distribution and is more frequently encountered, and the Cottonwood Rabbit and Forest Rabbit, which are not recognized common classifications—do not inhabit the unique ecosystems of the Delta wetlands in Arkansas. This habitat specialization makes the Swamp Rabbit particularly distinct and rarer within that context.
