Young rabbits are bunnies, some species of wild rabbits are referred to as hares.
Rabbits are often called "bunnies." The word "bunny" comes from the old word for "rabbit," which was "coney." The word "rabbit" actually used to mean baby coneys. Nowadays, rabbits are the grown-ups, kits are the babies, and "bunny" is just a nickname for rabbits.

Hares are a related animal, but they are not the same as rabbits.
