Characteristics
Lagomorphs differ from rodents in that:
- they have four incisors in the upper jaw (not two, as in the Rodentia);
- they are almost strictly herbivorous (unlike rodents, many of which will eat both meat and vegetation);
However, they resemble rodents in that their teeth grow throughout their life, thus necessitating constant chewing to keep them from growing too long.
