A Synopsis of the North American Lagomorpha
The Lagomorpha are a group of mammals that include rabbits and hares. They have a distinctive set of teeth with two pairs of incisors in the upper jaw, one behind the other. The front pair grows continuously throughout their lives, while the back pair remains small. Their eyes are positioned on the sides of their head, giving them a wide field of vision. They have powerful hind legs and long ears. Lagomorpha are herbivores, feeding on plants, fruits, and vegetation. They are social animals and live in groups.

First lines
The most popular small game mammal in nearly every part of North America is one or another of the species of rabbits or hares. The rabbit is one of the few species of wild game that still is hunted commercially and sold for food on the open market. The close association and repeated contact of man with these animals has resulted in his contracting such of their diseases as are transmissible to him. Consequently the rabbits and hares have figured in many investigations concerned with public health and medicine.
