=== Differences between families of lagomorphs === Rabbits and hares move by jumping, pushing off with their strong hind legs and using their forelimbs to soften the impact on landing. Pikas lack certain skeletal modifications present in [[leporids]], such as a highly arched skull, an upright posture of the head, strong hind limbs and pelvic girdle, and long limbs.<ref name=Britanniapika/> Also, pikas have a short nasal region and entirely lack a [[supraorbital foramen]], while leporids have prominent supraorbital foramina and nasal regions.<ref>{{Cite web |title=IUCN - Lagomorph specialist group |url=http://www.iucn.org/about/work/programmes/species/who_we_are/ssc_specialist_groups_and_red_list_authorities_directory/mammals/lagomorph_specialist_group/ |website=www.iucn.org |access-date=2015-08-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150803095103/http://www.iucn.org/about/work/programmes/species/who_we_are/ssc_specialist_groups_and_red_list_authorities_directory/mammals/lagomorph_specialist_group/ |archive-date=2015-08-03}}</ref>
