Hello, my name is Ribbit, I have a big family.There are 18 different types (scientists call them species) of rabbits and hares in the world. Some have famous names like "jackrabbit" and "cottontail." The rabbit and hare once were thought to be part of the rodent family (like mice)! But they have four front teeth – most rodents have two.
