The name of the order is derived from the Greek lagos (?????) hare and morph? (?????) form. Though these mammals can resemble rodents (order Rodentia), and were classified as a superfamily in that order until the early twentieth century, they have since been considered a separate order." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagomorpha As that did not show up on my list I had the gnawing thought that you'd be wrong and looked it up. They used to think Bunnies where rodents. Some of the bunnies themselves I hear always were for quite a while confused. I think the bunnies and the chipmunks go to the same bars.
