rabbit
Rabbits, or bunnies, are small mammals in the family Leporidae (which also includes the hares), which is in the order Lagomorpha (which also includes pikas). They are familiar throughout the world as a small herbivore, a prey animal, a domesticated form of livestock, and a pet, having a widespread effect on ecologies and cultures. The most widespread rabbit genera are Oryctolagus and Sylvilagus. The former, Oryctolagus, includes the European rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus, which is the ancestor of the hundreds of breeds of domestic rabbit and has been introduced on every continent except Antarc

Brachylagus
Brachylagus () is a genus of lagomorph that contained the smallest living leporid, the pygmy rabbit before it was reclassified as a member of Sylvilagus in 2022. The genus name was originally proposed by Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. in 1900 as a subgenus for the pygmy rabbit, as it then had the scientific name Lepus idahoensis, but its characteristics differed greatly from the known subgenera of the time. Marcus Ward Lyon Jr. elevated the subgenus to genus level in 1904. One extinct species, Brachylagus coloradoensis, is known to belong to the genus.

Aztlanolagus
Aztlanolagus is an extinct monotypic genus of rabbit that lived during the Quaternary in what is now the Southern to Southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Aztlanolagus agilis is currently the only recognized species, though differences among recovered fossils suggest that there may have been other species. The generic name refers to Aztlán, the legendary place of origin of the Nahua peoples as recorded in the mythological accounts of the Aztecs and other Nahua groups. By some traditions, this legendary locale is placed in the border regions of the Southwestern United States and adjac
