What is the scientific name for a rabbit?

Rabbits are leporids. The exact scientific name depends on what species of rabbit it is, as they all have their own scientific and common names. Here are a few:

Eastern Cottontail: Sylvilagus Transitionalis

European rabbit: Oryctolagus Cuniculas. (All pet rabbits were domesticated from the European rabbit.)

Brown hare: Lepus Capensis

• Sylvilagus transitionalis: New England Cottontail
• Sylvilagus floridanus: Eastern Cottontail
