Which U.S. President was famously 'attacked' by a swimming rabbit?

The story behind the answer

Jimmy Carter is the correct answer. In April 1979, while fishing alone on a pond near his hometown of Plains, Georgia, Carter encountered a swamp rabbit (Sylvilagus aquaticus) that swam toward his boat. He splashed water with an oar to shoo it away. The oddity of a “rabbit attack” on a sitting president became a media sensation after The Washington Post reported it, and a photo later surfaced, fueling jokes and political jabs.
