Rabbits One very common mammal is the rabbit. Although rabbits have some rodentlike features such as prominent incisors, they are placed in the order Lagomorpha, which also includes hares and pikas. "lagomorph" comes from a Greek word referring to the form of the split upper lip," or "harelip," of the hare. Lagomorphs also have two smaller incisors behind the two larger ones. Like rodents, lagomorphs are herbivores that feed only on plants. The hare gives birth to young that have eyes open and a full coat of fur, while rabbits bear naked young that have eyes closed. The young of hares can survive on their own from birth. Young rabbits are totally dependaent on their mother
