Rabbit

Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lgomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the europan rabbit  cottontail rabbit (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the American rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, an endangered species on amami oshima Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with piks and hares, make up the order lagomorpha. The male is called a buck and the female is a doe; a young rabbit is a kitten or kit.
