Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha. They have long ears, a short, fluffy tail and powerful hind legs. They typically live for 8-12 years, depending on the breed, and are social animals that live in groups. They are herbivores, and feed mainly on grass and other plant matter. Domestic rabbits are widely kept as house pets and come in a variety of colors and breeds. Wild rabbits generally live in dense woods and meadows, living off a combination of grass, bark, and roots.
