If a rabbit isn't a rodent, what is it?

Answer 1

The family Leporidae consists of 11 genera and around 54 species, commonly known as hares and rabbits. Hares (genus Lepus) are generally larger than rabbits, have longer, black tipped ears and live solitary lives. Hares are born with open eyes, hair, and they can run within a few minutes of birth. Rabbits are born blind, naked, and remain in a fur-lined nest their first days of life.

Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are seven different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cottontail rabbits (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami Rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, an endangered species on Amami Oshima, Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with cottontails, pikas and hares make up the Order Lagomorpha. Rabbits generally live between four and 10 years. A rabbit's gestation period is 31 days.

Answer 2

A rabbit:

The Lagomorphs, order Lagomorpha, are an order of mammals of which there are two families, Leporidae (hares and rabbits), and Ochotonidae (pikas).

Though members of order Lagomorpha can resemble rodents (order Rodentia), and were classified as a superfamily in that order until the early twentieth century, they have since been considered a separate order. For a time it was common to consider the lagomorphs only distant relatives of the rodents, to whom they merely bore a superficial resemblance; however, genetic studies have since shown that, while still distinct from rodents, they are indeed very closely related after all.

Answer 3

A rabbit is a lagomorph, being from the order Lagomorpha, as opposed to rodents, which are from the order Rodentia.
