What's the public's biggest misconception about bears? Bats? Anything?

Hopefully I'm not too late, someone just sent this link to me. I'm looking to apply to University of Florida grad school in order to pursue a degree which will help me tackle some of the many convservation issues South Florida faces. I have strongly considered doing exactly what you are doing: returning to my home in the Everglades region to research the P. bivittatus issue.

Essentially, my question is this: are marsh rabbits effectively extinct within the Everglades now? And if I can follow up, do we have any idea of the extent of their impact in the Keys and on Key Deer?
