Lagomorpha

Belongs within: Glires.
Contains: Leporidae.

The Lagomorpha contains the modern pikas (Ochotona) together with the rabbits and hares (Leporidae). Living lagomorphs practice coprophagy, producing soft faecal pellets that they then re-ingest in order to extract more nutriments from their food (the final digestive wastes are produced as hard pellets that are not re-ingested).

Synapomorphies (from Averianov 1999): Tooth germs of P₂ and P₃ fused; I₃ absent; diastema between I₂ and P₃ widened; I² with groove on anterior surface.
