| Rabbits are often known affectionately
by the pet name bunny or bunny rabbit, especially when
referring to young, domesticated rabbits. Originally,
the word for an adult rabbit was coney or cony, while
rabbit referred to the young animals. Coney was abandoned
as a term for the animal after it was co-opted in the
eighteenth century as a synonym for the word cunt, widely
considered vulgar.[10] More recently, the term kit has
been used to refer to a young rabbit. A group of young
rabbits is referred to as a kindle. Young hares are called
leverets, and this term is sometimes informally applied
to any young rabbit. Male rabbits are called bucks and
females does. A group of rabbits or hares are often called
a fluffle in parts of Northern Canada. |
