Hypolagus

This is an extinct genus of rabbits. They lived across North America and into the Bering Straight to Eurasia. Its earliest fossils are from the early or middle Miocene in North America. Hilariously they were found in the area of the Meditteranean Sea when it dried up, which during some stages was called the Lago Mare event. Get it? Like Lagomorpha? Wikipedia seems to be trying to say that they were neither rabbits nor hares, or both.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hypolagus&oldid=1124689108https://dinopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Hypolagus?oldid=269537 The name comes from "hypo" in Ancient Greek, which meant "under" and "lagos" which meant "rabbit" in Latin.https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=hypo-&oldid=72185670https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Lagus Likely its in reference to their evolutionary status in history, which is just below (or really, the earliest) bunch of rabbits. Though I could be wrong as that's a guess.
