rabbit

Formerly, this animal is a wild animal that lives in Africa to the mainland of Europe. In its development, in 1912, rabbits were classified in Lagomorpha orders. The Order is divided into two families, namely Ochtonidae (the type of pika who is good at whistling) and Leporidae (including the type of rabbit and hare). The origin of the word rabbit comes from the Dutch language, konijntje meaning "rabbit boy". This shows that the people of the archipelago began to recognize the rabbits during the colonial period, whereas on the island of Sumatra there is a new species of Sumatran rabbits (Nesolagus netscheri) newly discovered in 1972.
