   How about “Myron”. He looks like a “Myron”.

   Oh, you meant species. Some kind of Hare? family: Leporidae, genus: Lepus.

     Looks like a Pygmy Rabbit (Brachylagus idahoensis)

   My first thought was a pika, but I suspect the ears aren’t big enough.

   A juvenile snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus)?

   Hal 9000 gets it right, as usual. It is indeed a pygmy rabbit from North America. Researchers writing in the Journal of Applied Ecology have recently used a Bayesian model to try and work out their distribution and abundance:

   I’m not an expert but I’d have guessed either “Flopsie”,”Mopsie”, or “Cottontail. Guess I was wrong.
