A bunny that walks through the meadow, plays and runs with all freedom, surrounded by beautiful flowers florese.
The term orycto comes from the Greek ορυκτός (oriktós, '[ex] dug', 'unearthed') and this one from ορύσσειν (orýssein, 'dig'), making reference to the excavating customs characteristic of this species in the wild, while the Greek term λαγός (lakes) means strictly 'hare'.4
To discover the origin of the name of the species, as well as its common name, you have to go back to some centuries before Christ. The rabbit was an unknown animal for the Greeks and Romans of antiquity who visited the Iberian Peninsula. The Greek historian Polybius (2nd century BC) describes it for the first time.5 Its vernacular name, rabbit, comes from the Iberian term (or "pre-Roman", according to the Dictionary of the Spanish language) kýniklos (κύνικλoς), which later it derived to the Latin term cuniculus, and to the Spanish rabbit.4
