Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in
several parts of the world. There are eight 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
 TRY OUT 2

on Amami Oshima, Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with

is a doe; a young rabbit is a kitten or kit.

Rabbit habitats include meadows, woods, forests, grasslands, deserts and wetlands.
Rabbits live in groups, and the best known species, the European rabbit, lives in
underground burrows, or rabbits holes. A group of burrows is called warren.

native to southwestern Europe, Southeast Asia, Sumatra, some islands of Japan, and in
parts of Africa and South America. They are not naturally found in most Eurasia, where a
