  1. Rabbits at one point in time were consider in the rodentia family.  But evolution or human discovery over the years, finally found that rabbits contain an extra set of incisor teeth, called peg teeth, that are right behind the main incisor teeth, that rodents do not have.  So rabbits are mammals that are in the Lagomorph or Lagomorpha family.

    Mammals are animals that give birth to live young, and since rabbit babies are born warm blooded, alive (naked and blind, but alive)


  2. it is  a lagomorph

  3. well rodents are mammals,

    but rabbits aren't rodents.  

  4. A rabbit is not a rodent, it is a Lagamorph. Lagamorphs are mammels and are like rodents, but they have a second set of upper incisors making them different from rodents.

  5. It is a mammal

  6. Lagomorph.

  7. A rabbit is a mammal, to be precise, a lagomorph. Rodents are also mammals however.
