Rabbits Description: Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are eight different genera in the familyclassified as rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cottontail rabbits (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, an endangered species on Amami Ōshima, Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with pikas and hares, make up the orderLagomorpha. The male is called a buck and the female is a doe; a young rabbit is a kitten or kit. Rabbit Diseases For a more comprehensive list, see Category:Rabbit diseases. Rabbits can be affected by a number of diseases. These include pathogens that also affect other animals and/or humans, such as Bordetella bronchiseptica and Escherichia coli', as well as diseases unique to rabbits such as rabbit haemorrhagic disease and myxomatosis. Rabbits and hares are almost never found to be infected with rabies and have not been known to transmit rabies to humans. Among the parasites that infect rabbits are tapeworms such as Taenia serialis, external parasites like fleas and mites, coccidia species, and Toxoplasma gondii. Lifespan The expected rabbit lifespan is about 9--12 years; the world's oldest rabbit on record lived 18 years.
