Rabbit type confirmed?

Doing some shitty bio homework and stumbled upon pic related.

>cotton-tailed rabbit, or more specifically, genus Sylvilagus
>Sylv
>Sylveon

We all know eevee and the eeveelutions have some basic rabbit-like traits (dem ears)..

Does this coincidence mean anything, /vp/?

It means the "Sylv" prefix, which refers to fairies, was used by scientists to describe a lot of animals and biological entities they viewed as fairy-like
Such as baby insects, cottontail rabbits, yadda yadda
You know a lot of real-world animals are named after mythological ones, right?

You don't think the direct translation of the latin Sylvia to woods/forest might have a bit more to do with a rabbit than vague 'cutesy' mythological connections?

It derives from the latin "sylvan" meaning "of the forest". In that genus are several mammals commonly found in forests. /thred

Oh, right, I forgot the original etymology of Sylvan. I thought the wood-deity meaning came before the broader association with forests.
