Pachyrukhos.This was about as close as you can get to a rabbit without actually being one. It had long hind legs and feet, suggesting that it had a hopping method of locomotion. The skull is short with teeth adapted for feeding on nuts and tough plant material. It had large eyes and an ear structure that suggests it had long ears in life.
