''Poelagus'' Rabbits are small mammals in the family (biology) Leporidae, found in many parts of the world. There are seven different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European Rabbit (''Oryctolagus cuniculus''), cottontail rabbits (genus ''Sylvilagus''; 13 species), and the Amami Rabbit (''Pentalagus furnessi'', an endangered species on Amami Oshima, Japan). Rabbits are distinguished from the related hares in that they are altricial, having young that are born blind and hairless; many also live underground in burrows. For hare, which are actually hares, in the genus ''Lepus'', see hare. Rabbits vary in size and weight. As a lagomorph, they have 4 sharp incisors (2 on top, 2 on bottom) that grow continuously throughout their life, and two peg teeth on the top behind the inscisors, dissimilar to those of rodents (which have only 2 each, top and bottom). Rabbits have long ears, large hind legs, and short fluffy tails. Rabbits move by hopping, using their long and powerful hind legs. To facilitate quick movement, rabbit hind feet have a thick padding of fur to dampen the shock of rapid hopping. Their toes are long, and are webbed to keep them from spreading apart as they jump. They are well-known for digging networks of burrows, called warrens, where they spend most of their time when not feeding. Rabbits are also well-known for their advanced breeding rate, another factor which differentiates them from hare; in theory, a doe can produce from three to seven live young per month, during the first half of the year, although a more common rate is half that. [http://www.mammal.org.uk/rabbit.htm][http://www.petstation.com/rabbitcare.html] In contrast, hares usually produce three or four live young, during the middle of the year.[http://www.mammal.org.uk/hare.htm] == Rabbits and people == The European Rabbit is the only species of rabbit to be domesticated. However, rabbits and people interact in many different ways beyond domestication. Rabbits are an example of an animal which is treated as food, pet and pest by the same culture. When used for food, rabbits are both hunted and raised for meat. Snares or guns along with dogs are usually employed when catching wild rabbits for food. In many areas rabbits are also raised for meat, a practice called cuniculture. Rabbit pelts are a widely used fur for clothing. Domestic rabbits make very friendly and playful pets. They are widely bought throughout America and may be kept inside or out. Rabbits have also been a source of environmental problems when introduced into the wild by humans (see ''Rabbits in Australia'' for details of it as a pest species in that country). Because of their appetites, and the rate at which they breed, wild rabbit depredation can prove problematic for agriculture. Gassing, barriers (fences), shooting, snaring and ferreting have been used to control rabbit populations, as has the disease myxomatosis. == Classification == Rabbits and hares were formerly classified in the order Rodentia until 1912, when they were moved into a new order Lagomorpha. This order, in addition to containing rabbits and hares, also includes the pikas. ORDER Lagomorpha * Family Leporidae ** Genus ''Amami Rabbit'' *** Amami Rabbit, ''Pentalagus furnessi'' ** Genus ''Bushman Rabbit'' *** Bushman Rabbit, ''Bunolagus monticularis'' ** Genus ''Sumatra Short-Eared Rabbit'' *** Sumatra Short-Eared Rabbit, ''Nesolagus netscheri'' ** Genus ''Volcano Rabbit'' *** Volcano Rabbit, ''Romerolagus diazi'' ** Genus ''Pygmy Rabbit'' *** Pygmy Rabbit, ''Brachylagus idahoensis'' ** Genus ''Sylvilagus'' *** Forest Rabbit, ''Sylvilagus brasiliensis'' *** Dice's Cottontail, ''Sylvilagus dicei'' *** Brush Rabbit, ''Sylvilagus bachmani'' *** San Jose Brush Rabbit, ''Sylvilagus mansuetus'' *** Swamp Rabbit, ''Sylvilagus aquaticus'' *** Marsh Rabbit, ''Sylvilagus palustris'' *** Eastern Cottontail, ''Sylvilagus floridanus'' *** New England Cottontail, ''Sylvilagus transitionalis'' *** Mountain Cottontail, ''Sylvilagus nuttallii'' *** Desert Cottontail, ''Sylvilagus audubonii'' *** Omilteme Cottontail, ''Sylvilagus insonus'' *** Mexican Cottontail, ''Sylvilagus cunicularis'' *** Tres Marias Rabbit, ''Sylvilagus graysoni'' ** Genus ''European Rabbit'' *** European Rabbit, ''Oryctolagus cuniculus'' ** Genus ''Central African Rabbit'' *** Central African Rabbit, ''Poelagus marjorita'' ** 3 other genera in family, regarded as hares, not rabbits == Rabbits in culture and literature == Rabbits are often used as a symbol of fertility. It is possibly as a consequence of this that they have been associated with Easter as the Easter Bunny. The species' role as a prey animal also lends itself as a symbol of innocence as an animal that seems to wish harm on no one, another Easter connotation. In addition, the animal is often used as a symbol of playful sexuality, which plays off of its perceived image of innocence (''see Playboy Bunny''). It is also a common folklore archetype of the trickster who uses his cunning to outwit his enemies. The most common example of this is Br'er Rabbit from African-American folktales; by extension the Warner Brothers cartoon character Bugs Bunny also typifies this image. Anthropomorphic rabbits have appeared in a List of fictional rabbits of film and literature, most notably the White Rabbit in Lewis Carroll's ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland;'' in the popular novel ''Watership Down,'' by Richard Adams (author); and in Beatrix Potter's works such as Peter Rabbit. It is commonly believed that a rabbit, if injected with a woman's urine, will expire if the woman were pregnant. This is not true. However, in the 1920s it was discovered that if the injected urine contained the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone found in the urine of pregnant women, the rabbit would display ovarian changes. The rabbit would indeed need to be killed to have its ovaries inspected, but the death of the rabbit was not the indicator of the results. Later revisions of the Rabbit Test allowed technicians to inspect the ovaries without animal euthanasia the unfortunate creature. There is a rabbit among the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac. See Rabbit (Zodiac). Rabbit feet are considered lucky and fake rabbit feet are often sold as cheap trinkets. It also often leads to the humourous note that the rabbit itself was not lucky to lose them. In Japanese tradition, rabbits live on the Moon where they make Mochi - a popular sticky snack. In Chinese literature, rabbits also accompany Chang-e on the Moon. == See also == *Domestic rabbit *List of fictional rabbits == External links == * http://www.rabbit.org - House Rabbit Society * http://www.iinet.net.au/~rabbit/hrsaus.htm - House Rabbit Society of Australia Inc. * http://www.iinet.net.au/~rabbit/rabbit.htm - Rabbit Information Service * http://www.rabbit.org.au - Australian Companion Rabbit Society * [http://www.islandgems.net Island Gems Rabbit Information] * [http://www.fuzzy-rabbit.com Fuzzy-Rabbit's Rabbit Information] * [http://www.arba.net/ American Rabbit Breeders Association] * [http://www.petsyclopedia.com/rabbits/ Rabbit Care Articles] and [http://www.petsyclopedia.com/-photos/rabbits.xml Cute Rabbit Pictures] on Petsyclopedia Leporids pets Meat nah:Tochtli ms:Arnab
