TK,
We have a similar rabbit to your Swamp Rabbit, it is called a Muck Rabbit here bouts. They are darker than a cottontail and pretty crafty.
You did forget the "No shoulders" as refrence to all things that slither. A panther, pronounced, "painter," is the local refrence to a mountain lion without a mountain, as we do not have any mountains. All female deer are called 'butt heads."
We have an odd breed of goats around here, the farmers call them "those damned goats."
Best,
Ed

I knew we would get some good stuff here. We call Armadillo speed bumps here Wiersy.
Never heard moose called swamp donkeys. That about sums them up real well.

Armadillo that's a damn hard speed bump!
I just has a road goat running along side the truck on the shoulder. I guess he was drag racing the Ram.

I told my wife to open the door so I could clip him but she didn't think it was such a good idea.
