lagomorph
Hare or rabbit
A lagomorph is a mammal of the order that includes rabbits, hares, and pikas.
Though they resemble rodents and were once classified with them, lagomorphs are distinguished by having four upper incisors rather than two.
The lagomorphs in our garden have eaten every lettuce plant.
