Rabbits belong to the genus Sylvilagus and hares belong to the genus Lepus, both of which belong to the scientific family Lagomorph. Contrary to popular belief, rabbits are NOT rodents. As well, aside from minor adaptations due to living environments and selective breeding for specific traits like coloring and ear shape, there is very little difference scientifically between wild and domestic varieties of rabbits.
