  2. Classification Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha. They are found in several parts of the world including north America, south western Europe, south east Asia, Sumatra, parts of Africa and south America and some islands of Japan. There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolaguscuniculus), Cottontail rabbits (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (Pentalagusfurnessi, an endangered species on AmamiOshima, Japan). There are many other species of rabbit along with pikas and hares, make up the order Lagomorpha. The male is called a buck and the female is a doe a young rabbit is a kitten or kit. Rabbit habitats include meadows, woods, forests, grasslands, deserts and wetlands.They live in groups, mostly in underground burrows, or rabbit holes collectively called a warren. Rabbits are herbivores that feed by grazing on grass, forbs, and leafy weeds. As a consequence, their diet contains large amounts of cellulose which is hard to digest. Rabbits solve this problem by passing two distinct types of faeces: hard droppings and soft black viscous pellets, the latter of which are immediately eaten. Rabbits reingest their own droppings (rather than chewing the cud as do cows and many other herbivores) to digest their food further and extract sufficient nutrients. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit
