Kosher? Halal?

the article on hares goes into this, but not the one on rabbits? 2607:FEA8:FF01:4FA6:CC28:F4B0:F2B4:1BB0 (talk) 22:33, 9 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

The article on hares states that, but the reference doesn't say anything about it. I don't know how to look these things up because various sources say rabbit is kosher, some say it is not, and many say rabbits and hares are the same thing. I imagine they fall under the same laws as rock hyrax but can't say for sure. Reconrabbit 16:44, 10 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Template:Edit semi-protected More recently, the term kit or kitten and the plural verbs kits and kittens have been used to refer to a young rabbit. 2407:7000:8E29:5600:0:0:0:1004 (talk) 05:29, 21 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Taxonomical distinction from hares?

Since rabbits have 44 chromosomes, while hares have 48, rabbits and hares obviously belong to distinct groups of animals, but according to the infobox, the lowest-level taxonomical group that rabbits are included in seems to be is Leporidae, which hares also belong to, which makes it seem like hares are a type of rabbits. So, how do we distinguish hares and rabbits taxonomically? —Kri (talk) 09:55, 10 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Template:Tq is false. Przewalski's horse has a different number of chromosomes to other wild horses, but they are both treated as members of the same species of wild horse. Hemiauchenia (talk) 11:25, 10 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
Hares and rabbits are leporids. The difference is that "hare" refers to a specific genus Lepus and "rabbit" means "every leporid that isn't in Lepus". Also, there are behavioral factors. -- Reconrabbit 17:40, 10 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
Also worth noting that some authorities state that "rabbit" only refers to the cottontail rabbits, European rabbit, and pygmy rabbit. -- Reconrabbit 12:45, 15 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
