Lagomorphs are a group of mammals that belong to the order Lagomorpha, which includes rabbits, hares, and pikas. They are characterized by their long ears, strong hind legs, and a unique dental structure featuring four incisors in the upper jaw. Lagomorphs are herbivorous and typically inhabit a variety of environments, from forests to grasslands. They play important roles in their ecosystems as prey for many predators and as consumers of vegetation.

What animals in the rainforest are prey?
Different species of ape compete for fruit, bark and other food as well as territory. Birds compete for seeds, berries and insects.
What type of meats are not kosher?
Any meat not slaughtered in accordance with shechita (Jewish slaughter) is not kosher. However, there are innumerable animals which cannot (even with Jewish slaughter-techniques) be kosher since they violate Torah-level prohibitions (Deuteronomy ch.14) of which animals to eat and which animals not to eat. These include: - Pigs - Perissodactyls (Odd-toed Ungulates) -- Horses, Rhinoceroses - Reptiles -- Snakes, Lizards, Crocodilians, and Turtles. - Amphibians -- Frogs, Toads, Newts, and Salamanders - Lagamorphs and Rodents -- Rabbits to Rats to Capybara, etc.
Can a guinea pig and rabbit mate?
Sometimes I wonder if people actually put any thought into these questions. To answer your stupid question, rabbits would not/could not mate with Guinea pigs. As I hope you learned in Biology class, 2 entirely different species of animals cannot reproduce.
Why is a rabbit classified as a vertebrate?
Rabbits are in the class "mammalia" and the order "lagamorpha." So, they are mammals. Their type of mammal is lagamorph. They are not rodents as some people think. Lagamorphs consist of rabbits, hares, and pikas.
Do rabbits have mammary glands?
Yes, rabbits breastfeed. All mammals (named for the mammary glands, or breasts) have breasts and produce milk to nourish their young. Rabbits are mammals, so they produce milk. The number of teats a mother rabbit has varies from 6-12 and the number of kits a rabbit produces in one litter varies as well depending on breed (Netherland Dwarfs may have only 1 or 2 kits in a litter while New Zealands may have upwards of 10 kits in a single litter), so the number of teats actually needed varies. The rabbit breastfeeds by hovering over her young kits, which lay on their backs and scrabble for a teat. Kits often leave one teat and scrabble for another several times in one feeding. The mother rabbit generally weans her kits at 4-6 weeks (when it is difficult for them to lay on their backs underneath her to reach the teats). If you are attempting to bottle-feed rabbit kits, keep the mother rabbit's method of feeding in mind. Hold the bunnies on their backs and keep them warm while feeding them. Also consider not attempting to raise wild rabbits. Even when raised with domestic rabbits, they tend to be too wild to be kept as pets. When finally released back into the wild, they quickly become prey as the domestic rabbit foster mother cannot teach the young adopted wild bunnies how to hide or run from predators. It would be far more humane to leave the wild bunnies to die rather than attempting to save them. Random fact: Rabbits are not rodents. They are lagamorphs! The primary difference between rodents and lagamorphs is the presence of "peg teeth," an extra set of tiny teeth situated behind the main incisors.
