| Lapine--Rabbits & Hares | ||||||||||||||||
| Rabbits, hares, and pikas all belong to an Order called Lagomorphs. They are not rodents, but are the most hunted animals, and have therefore developed evasive skills. they have flexible necks, are herbivorous, and are among the fastest breeders in the world, having litters of up to 12 young 6 times throughout the year. | ||||||||||||||||
| Hare or Rabbit? Rabbit or Pika? Hares are usually more athletic and skinnier than rabbits, but besides that there is no difference. Pikas look altogether different, looking more like a large mouse with no tail than anything. |
