Lagomorphs are a group of mammals that include rabbits, hares, and pikas.
- Lagomorphs are small to medium-sized mammals characterized by their ever-growing incisors and unique digestive system.
- They belong to the order Lagomorpha, which includes three main families: rabbits and hares (Leporidae), and pikas (Ochotonidae).
- Unlike rodents, lagomorphs have four incisors in the upper jaw (two pairs), and they practice coprophagy to extract maximum nutrients from their fibrous diet.
The scientific order for lagomorphs is Lagomorpha.
Lagomorphs are native to Europe, Asia, and North America.
