The Tapiti (Sylvilagus brasiliensis)

Found in all Brazilian biomes, with the exception of a part of the Amazon, this friendly mammal has nocturnal and lonely habits, as it is a pray for various species, such as jaguars, ocelot, some snakes, among other animals, has the habit of living in silence and with a lot of discretion.

They are herbivorous animals and their diet consists of fruits, sprouts and vegetable stalks. These rabbits make their nest with leaves or dry grass, lining the inside with their own hair to raise their puppies and usually give birth between one and six puppies.

Has anyone ever thought that rabbits are rodents? We think this can be a normal confusion, but for science, the feature that most distinguish the rabbits from rodents is their dentition: they have four incisive teeth (two upper and two lower), while rodents have only two. In addition to the fact that rabbits have beautiful long ears!
