Rabbits are not bovine animals, they are in the order lagamorpha along with hares and picas and in the family leporidae with the hares. Bovine animals are in the order Artiodactyla and the family Bovidae.





For many years rabbits were in with the rodents but as scientific knowledge advanced they got put into an order of their own. They were never grouped with cattle and other bovids





I hope this answers your sister's questionWhy are rabbits considered bovine animals not rodents?
The largest rodent is a capybara which is much larger than a rabbit.





Rodents have an extra pair of small front teeth that sit behind the regular front teeth and Lagamorphs don't. Male rodents have a penile bone and Lagamorphs don't. While most rodents have meat in their diet rabbits don't.
It's because they are herbivores and eat grasses, it has to do with the structure of their stomachs and how they digest food.
