The Lagomorpha portalThe lagomorphs (/ˈlæɡəmɔːrf/) are the members of the taxonomic order Lagomorpha, of which there are two living families: the Leporidae (rabbits and hares) and the Ochotonidae (pikas). There are 110 recent species of lagomorph of which 109 are extant, including 10 genera of rabbits (42 species), 1 genus of hare (33 species) and 1 genus of pika (34 species). The name of the order is derived from the Ancient Greek lagos (λαγώς, "hare") + morphē (μορφή, "form"). (Full article...) Selected articleThe House Rabbit Society (HRS) is a non-profit organization based in Richmond, California that rescues and adopts rabbits and educates the community on how to properly care for them. HRS tries to promote responsible rabbit ownership, including the spaying and neutering of all pet rabbits, and proper veterinary care, diet, and exercise. They also advocate the position that pet rabbits should be kept indoors as house rabbits, because they argue that house rabbits live longer, healthier, fuller lives and suffer fewer accidents and health problems. Selected breed
Despite its name, the Alaska Rabbit originates in Germany. It is a medium-sized rabbit breed, weighing around 3–4 kg (7-9 lb) with glossy black fur. This breed was created in 1900 by crossing Havanas, Dutch, Himalayans and Champagne d'Argents with the goal of obtaining a rabbit that looks like the Alaskan fox. The Alaska Rabbit Club is the British Rabbit Council's national specialty club for this breed.
