Is that skeleton actually from a rabbit, or is it a hare? There’s not a huge difference, but hares definitely look way more like the drawing (minus the ears) than rabbits do.
hares are also larger than rabbits. as thier babies are precocial rather than atricial(other than cottontails), and they are also much faster than rabbits. also hares only give birth to a few babies, vs rabbits which give to large litters.

Fascinating! But I actually already knew all that, and I don’t think it answers my question?
