If you check Leviticus 11:3-6 and/or Deuteronomy 14:7, you'll find that rabbits are considered unclean as they chew cud and don't have hooves.
But if you know anything about rabbits, you'll know that they don't chew cud, they don't have the organs to generate a cud with. Due to the ineffectiveness of their digestive system, they do, however eat their own poop (but only the first time).
The bible has proven, to be an unreliable source of truth.

To be fair, "chew the cud" isn't what is said in Hebrew, what the Hebrew says is raising up food from the stomach, which rabbits technically do.
I'm growing more and more of the opinion that the English translation is the worst way to understand what the hell the Hebrews meant.
