Hello! I'd be very grateful for your help in finding out how to name baby rabbits/hares correctly. On the internet it is said that they are scientifically calledr kittens or kits. But as far as I got it, native speakers don't refer to them as kits, people name them bunnies.
I'm a teacher and I need to tell my students the right option for real life communication.
Kittens or Bunnies

Re: Kittens or Bunnies
Bunny doesn't have to mean baby rabbit, it can be used for adult rabbits too. Think of the Easter Bunny.
Bunny is just a cute, childish word for that animal, similar to doggy or pussy cat.
