在英语中，兔科下属所有的屬，除了兔屬（Lepus）以外，通常被称为“rabbit”（中文常译为“兔子”）；而兔屬大約占近一半的種類則常被稱為“hare”（常中译为“野兔”）。然而，在這兩種俗名的區別並不應用於現在的科學分類，例如长耳大野兔是兔屬的成員，而岩兔屬（Pronolagus）和粗毛兔屬（Caprolagus）有時被稱為“hare”。
Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are eight different genera in the family classifiedas rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cottontail rabbits (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, anendangered species on Amami Ōshima, Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with pikas and hares, make up the order Lagomorpha. The male is called a buck and the female is a doe; a young rabbit is a kitten or kit.
