Rabbits are mammals from the Leporidae family, which can be found in many parts of the earth. 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.
This order is divided into two families, namely Ochtonidae (the type of pika who is good at whistling) and Leporidae (including the types of rabbits and hares).
The origin of the word rabbit comes from the Dutch language, konijntje meaning "rabbit boy". This shows that the people of Nusantara began to recognize rabbits during the colonial period, whereas in Sumatra Island there is one species of Sumatran rabbit (Nesolagus netscheri)
