Lagomorpha

The Order Lagomorpha is a taxonomic group that includes rabbits, hares, and pikas. These small to medium-sized mammals are found in various habitats worldwide, from deserts to forests and tundras. Lagomorphs are characterized by their long hind legs, adapted for running and hopping, and their two pairs of incisors that grow continuously throughout their lives. They are herbivorous, and their diet consists of grasses, leaves, twigs, and bark. Lagomorphs play an important role in their ecosystems as prey for various predators and as seed dispersers. However, some species are also considered pests because of their impact on crops. The Order Lagomorpha is a diverse and fascinating group of mammals contributing to the planet's biodiversity.
