Rabbits do seem like they're rodents but actually Rabbits are not rodents at all.

Rabbits differ from rodents because rabbits have four incisor teeth while rodents only have two incisor teeth.

Also rabbits are herbivorous whereas rodents are not and eat meat and rabbits are burrowing animals but rodents typically are not.

When I was a kid I thought that rabbits looked like rodents and were actually rodents but it turns out they're technically not rodents.
