. Just reviewed this article for GA, so happy on all the content checks. QPQ done. I do not have access to the source, but did do a spot checking for the GA review, so trust it supports the statement. I think it's interesting to say a rabbit is a great swimmer. Maybe less interesting that they're territorial? A shorter DYK might be punchier, but up to you. While a lot of rabbits do it, I still find it interesting that they eat their droppings. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:04, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- I guess the cite template that I used doesn't support the quote parameter; it's "One study suggested that males were non-territorial in January-June because home ranges overlapped considerably; otherwise Swamp Rabbits are considered territorial. Swamp Rabbits are excellent swimmers". How about:
