Ask a Bunny: What-ivores?


"Are rabbits rodents?"


Nope!

Lots of the mammals that can't fly are rodents, but bunnyz and hominz aren't. Rabbits are a very special kind of critter that scientist call Lagomorpha. Which probably means we're related to wearwolfs (I'm just guessing on that part).
Chinchillas are totally rodents though, and clearly not as great as bunnies.

We used to be.

We didn't change, science changed - 'cause that's how learning works. Some humans used to think Pluto was a planet - ha! Anyway...

Rabbits have different teeth than rodents, mostly on account of being herbivores.  (Okay so there was that one time I swallowed a bug by accident.)

The point, is most rodents like to eat meat and bunnies don't.
