I was fishing a river and on the opposite bank I saw a weasel come out of the brush.
He sniffed around the bank a little then went back into the woods. A minute later a small rabbit came out in the same spot. But the rabbit went into the water and swam around for a minute. Then he returned to the woods the same way he’d come out.
Then a minute later the weasel came back and searched around for a minute, then he returned back the way he came in. I never heard of a rabbit swimming before.
