Oryctolagus (/ ˌ ɔː r ɪ k ˈ t ɑː l ə ɡ ə s /) is a genus of lagomorph that today contains the European rabbit and its descendant, the domestic rabbit, as well as several fossil species. The generic name derives from Ancient Greek : ὀρυκτός ( oryktos , “dug up”) and λαγώς ( lagōs , “hare”).
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.
Fossil occurrences of leporids and ochotonids and global environmental change (climate change, C 3 /C 4 plants distribution) [2]. The lagomorphs (/ ˈ l æ ɡ ə m ɔː r f /) are the members of the taxonomic order Lagomorpha, of which there are two living families: the Leporidae (rabbits and hares) and the Ochotonidae ().
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 ...
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 jugal bone is located on either side of the skull in the circumorbital region. It is the origin of several masticatory muscles in the skull. [1] The jugal and lacrimal bones are the only two remaining from the ancestral circumorbital series: the prefrontal, postfrontal, postorbital, jugal, and lacrimal bones. [2]
The most eye-catching factor of a lionhead rabbit is the fluffy mane around its head. Pictured is a double mane sable point lionhead rabbit. A photo of a white Lionhead Rabbit with a black nose. Lionhead is a breed of domestic rabbit recognized by the British Rabbit Council (BRC) [1] and by the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA). [2]
