Unlike the erect ear of the majority of domestic rabbit breeds, lop breeds have ears loosely drooping, with the opening of the ear facing the skull. Due to the slightly-raised cartilaginous ear base, the head of many lop rabbits (with the exception of English Lops ) has a small bulge, referred to as the crown .
The domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus) is the domesticated form of the European rabbit, a member of the lagomorph order. A male rabbit is known as a buck, a female as a doe, and a young rabbit as a kit. There are hundreds of rabbit breeds, originating from all over the world.

From top to bottom (A) a skull of an Anapsid, (B) a Synapsid (stem-mammal) skull, and (C) a Diapsid skull. [a] Temporal fenestrae are openings in the temporal region of the skull of some amniotes, behind the orbit (eye socket). These openings have historically been used to track the evolution and affinities of reptiles.
The anatomy of Sylvilagus insonus has been described with particular focus towards the skull. The skull is large, approximately 78 mm (3.1 in) in length and 32 mm (1.3 in) in depth, with a large palate and a wide braincase (back and upper part of the skull). The supraorbital process (projecting bone structure above the eyes) is flat, attached ...
The squamosal is a skull bone found in most reptiles, amphibians, and birds. In fishes, it is also called the pterotic bone. [1] In most tetrapods, the squamosal and quadratojugal bones form the cheek series of the skull. [2] The bone forms an ancestral component of the dermal roof and is typically thin compared to other skull bones. [3]
