Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae.

The mammalian order Lagomorpha consists of rabbits, pikas, and hares. The Cottontail rabbit is of the genus sylvilagus and most are of the subgenus floridanus. (see related link)

There are several different species of common rabbit, such as Oryctolagus (common European), Sylvilagus (cottontail), Lepus (jack rabbits and hares), and Brachylagus (pygmy rabbit). All these versions fall under the family Leporidae, which is part of the greater order Lagomorph.

Contrary to popular belief, rabbits are not rodents or in anyway related to the family Rodentia.
