Lagomorphs

Scientific classification
Kingdom:Animalia
Phylum:Chordata
Class:Mammalia
Order:Lagomorpha
Families

Leporidae
Ochotonidae

The Lagomorphs, order Lagomorpha, are an order of mammals of which there are two families, Leporidae ( hares and rabbits), and Ochotonidae ( pikas).

Though members of order Lagomorpha can resemble rodents (order Rodentia), and were classified as a superfamily in that order until the early twentieth century, they are now regarded as separate. They differ from rodents in that:

They resemble rodents, however, in that their teeth grow throughout their life, thus necessitating constant chewing to keep them from growing too long.
