lagomorphs

Noun B1 – Intermediate

The group of mammals that includes rabbits, hares, and pikas, distinguished from rodents by an extra pair of teeth.

"Rabbits and hares both belong to the lagomorphs, not the rodent family."

A common mistake is grouping lagomorphs with rodents; they are actually classified separately.
