  4. Rabbits and hares used to be classified as rodents.  50 years ago or so, they were reclassified as Lagomorpha - their own order.  You can probably find old books that still call them rodents, but scientists think differently now.

  6. No

    Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are seven different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), Cottontail rabbit (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, endangered species on Amami Ã…ÂŒshima, Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with pikas and hares, make up the order Lagomorpha.
