Both rabbits and hares are almost exclusively herbivorous (although some Lepus species are known to eat carrion), [5] [6] feeding primarily on grasses and herbs, although they also eat leaves, fruit, and seeds of various kinds. Easily digestible food is processed in the gastrointestinal tract and expelled as regular feces.
There are 110 recent species of lagomorph of which 109 are extant, including ten genera of rabbits (42 species), one genus of hare (33 species) and one genus of pika (34 species). The name of the order is derived from the Ancient Greek lagos (λαγώς, "hare") + morphē (μορφή, "form").
