===Evolution===
The earliest ancestor of rabbits and hares lived 55 million years ago in what is now [[Mongolia]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Asher |first1=RJ |last2=Meng |first2=J |last3=Wible |first3=JR |last4=McKenna |first4=MC |last5=Rougier |first5=GW |last6=Dashzeveg |first6=D |last7=Novacek |first7=MJ |title=Stem Lagomorpha and the antiquity of Glires |journal=Science |date=February 18, 2005 |volume=307 |issue=5712 |pages=1091–4 |doi= 10.1126/science.1107808 |pmid= 15718468|bibcode=2005Sci...307.1091A }}</ref> Because the rabbit's [[epiglottis]] is engaged over the soft palate except when swallowing, the rabbit is an [[obligate nasal breathing|obligate nasal breather]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Johnson-Delaney|first1= CA |last2=Orosz |first2=SE |title=Rabbit respiratory system: clinical anatomy, physiology and disease |journal=Vet Clin North Am Exot Anim Pract |date=May 2011 |volume=14 |issue=2 |pages=257–66 |doi= 10.1016/j.cvex.2011.03.002 |pmid= 21601814}}</ref> As lagomorphs, rabbits have two sets of [[incisor]] teeth, one behind the other, a manner in which they differ from rodents, which only have one set of incisors.{{sfn|Alves|Ferrand|Hackländer|2008|pages=1-9}} Another difference is that for rabbits, all of their teeth continue to grow, whereas for most rodents, only their incisors continue to grow.  [[Carl Linnaeus]] originally grouped rabbits and rodents under the class [[Glires]]; later, they were separated as the scientific consensus is that many of their similarities were a result of [[convergent evolution]]. DNA analysis and the discovery of a common ancestor have supported the view that they share a common lineage, so rabbits and rodents are now often grouped together in the clade or superorder Glires.<ref name="VellaDonnelly">{{Cite book|editor-first1=Katherine |editor-last1=Quesenberry |editor-first2=Connie J. |editor-last2=Orcutt |editor-first3=Christoph |editor-last3=Mans |editor-first4=James W. |editor-last4=Carpenter |title=Ferrets, Rabbits, and Rodents: Clinical Medicine and Surgery |edition=4th |date=2020 |chapter=Basic Anatomy, Physiology, and Husbandry of Rabbits |pages=131–149 |first1=Thomas M. |last1=Donnelly|first2= David |last2=Vella |doi=10.1016/B978-0-323-48435-0.00011-3 |isbn=978-0-323-48435-0 }}</ref><ref name="Kriegs">{{Cite journal |last1=Kriegs |first1=JO |last2=Churakov |first2=G|last3=Jurka |first3=J |last4=Brosius |first4=J |last5=Schmitz |first5=J |title=Evolutionary history of 7SL RNA-derived SINEs in Supraprimates |journal=Trends in Genetics |volume=23 |issue=4 |pages=158–61 |date=April 2007 |pmid=17307271 |doi=10.1016/j.tig.2007.02.002 }}</ref>
