cottontail rabbit (genus Sylvilagus; 13
species), and the
Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi,
endangered species on

Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with cottontails, pikas, and
hares, make up the order
Lagomorpha. Rabbits generally live between four and twenty years.
