2. and 14. Horses on the Marsh
Horses are brought on the Marsh for a few months of the year. Many foals are born on the Marsh each year.

9. Cows on the Marsh

32. Rabbits on the Marsh
It could be said that rabbits are important on the Marsh.  Their grazing, particularly in areas such as Crouch Hill and North Scubs, helps keep the turf low, allowing smaller plants to survive.  The Shelduck is also grateful for their existance, for they nest in their burrows, and raise young most years on the Marsh. The reason there is hardly any difference in colour between the sexes of Shelduck is due to the fact that the female doesn't have to conseal herself from being visible to predators.  Rabbit burrows are also ideal hibernation sites for toads, snakes, and lizards.
