Leporids are a family of mammals that includes rabbits and hares. These animals are known for their long ears, strong hind legs, and fluffy tails. They are typically found in various habitats, from forests to grasslands, and are famous for their ability to reproduce quickly. Leporids are herbivores, primarily eating grasses, leaves, and other plant materials. One of the most well-known leporids is the European rabbit, which has been domesticated and is often kept as a pet. Hares, like the European brown hare, are generally larger than rabbits and have longer legs, allowing them to run faster. Both rabbits and hares play important roles in their ecosystems, serving as prey for many predators.
