Information:
Bunnies and rabbits are often confused, but they are not the same. The term "bunny" usually refers to a young or baby rabbit, while "rabbit" can refer to any age of the species. Rabbits belong to the family Leporidae and are known for their long ears, strong hind legs, and fluffy tails. They are herbivores, which means their diet consists mostly of plants, including grass, leaves, and vegetables. Rabbits are social animals and typically live in groups called colonies.
