What is the closest relative to a rabbit?

Answer 1

No rabbits are not rodents. They were classified as rodents until 1912 when they were moved to Lagomorpha. The lagomorpha are closely related to horses because of how their digestive systems work.

Answer 2

The wolf is a ancestor in the dog breeds of Siberian Huskies, Samoyes, and Malamutes!

Samoyed's actually do not share DNA with Wolves, neither do Huskies and Malamutes. They are descended from wolves, but do not share any DNA. The Arctic Breeds are closest to "Primitive Dog" and therefore do not share DNA with the Grey Wolf, Coyote, Jackyl, or others in the Canis Lupis family. At least according to the latest DNA research on Dog Breeds.

===================

Now if you knew the true sections of evolution and deoxyribonucliec acid you would know it is carried by breed speicies. I know it was recently confirmed that they are a subspeices of gray wolf. Officially giving it the name canis lupis familaris. The Alaskan Malamute shares physical and mental characteristics of the gray wolf. All dogs evolved from wolves. Some have been so recent and no change of habitat and non-inter-breeding. They are the closest relatives to the gray wolf. They are visually "bulked up". They are very similar to wolves. They were bred in packs. They howl. Though their DNA isn't the same their characteristics. By the way you spelled jackal wrong.

===================

According to the National Geographic in February 2012, the Shiba Inu, a small Japanese breed, is "genetically the closest to wolves, suggesting they are the oldest domesticated breeds." Their reasoning is; "Analyzing the DNA of 85 dog breeds, scientists found that genetic similarities clustered them into four broad categories. The groupings reveal how breeders have recombined ancestral stock to create new breeds; a few carry many wolflike genes. Researchers named the groups for a distinguishing traits in the breeds dominating the clusters, though not every dog necessarily shows that trait."

Chow Chows, Akitas, Alaskan Malamutes and Basenji also rank as the top 5 most wolflike in order.
