Maybe these should be aliased instead? We no longer tag Pikachu as lagomorphs, so there's no actual difference as far as I can see.

We only have nine images tagged as pika, that's probably not enough to warrant keeping these separate.

Except for the wiki, I can't find a good definition of 'lapine' anywhere. Although VetBook says that "Lapine comes from the French word for rabbit, lapin, and was popularised by Richard Adams in his 1972 novel Watership Down, where it is spoken by fictional rabbit characters."

I think we can alias it.

I'd go with aliasing lapine to rabbit (or straight to lagomorph) since lapine is usually used in regards to rabbits and hares (even though it should really only refer to the former; technically, both should be referred to as leporids, but who's going to know that?). As Lagomorpha is the overall order for leporids and pikas, I think lagomorph should have priority.
