Rabbits are small mammals in the family leporidae of the order lagomorpha (along with
the hare and the pika). Oryctolagus cuniculusincludes the european rabbit species and its
descendants, the world's 305 breeds[1] of domestic rabbit. Sylvilagus includes thirteen wild rabbit
species, among them the seven types of cottontail. The european rabbit, which has been introduced
on every continent except antarctica, is familiar throughout the world as a wild prey animal and as
a domesticated form of livestock and pet. With its widespread effect on ecologies and cultures, the
rabbit (or bunny) is, in many areas of the world, a part of daily life—as food, clothing, and
companion, and as a source of artistic inspiration.
