Palaeolagus was the first rabbit. It lived during the Middle Eocene to Early Oligocene (40-30 million years ago). Its rear legs were shorter than modern rabbits and it could not hop, but rather ran like a squirrel. Its longer legs allowed it to flee predators like Hyaenodon and nimravids (false saber-toothed cats), but it was often prey for these predators. It did manage to evolve while they went extinct.

Because of replacement minerals, many of the fossil mammal teeth from the White River Formation of Nebraska will fluoresce. Be sure to check them out in our fluorescent section under the Nebraska page and then by the appropriate page for the species you are interested in. The item number will be the same as the item number in this section, but will be followed by an "F."

Specimen is maxillary teeth (both sides of the hard palate).

Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Class: Mammalia, Order: Longomorpha, Family: Leporidae, Sub-family: Palaeolaginae, Genus: Palaeolagus, Species: haydeni.
