Best Answer

The phrase "pygmy rabbit" could either mean a small domestic rabbit (usually called "dwarf," not "pygmy"), or a species of wild North American rabbit (the Brachylagus idahoensis). Although they're different animals, they share similar characteristics, such as a small body and small ears.
