A lagomorph is a member of the order Lagomorpha, which includes animals such as rabbits, hares, and pikas. These mammals are characterized by their long ears, strong hind legs, and a short tail. Lagomorphs are herbivorous, primarily feeding on grasses, leaves, and other plant materials.
Lagomorphs are distinct from rodents, although they share some similarities. They have a unique dental structure, with two pairs of upper incisors. This order is divided into two families: Leporidae (rabbits and hares) and Ochotonidae (pikas). Lagomorphs play important roles in their ecosystems, serving as prey for various predators.
