ISIDOREETYMOLOGIAE XII.1.24
Isidore says rabbits are named as if caniculi, from canis, dog, because they are caught by tracking with dogs (canum indagine) or driven out of their burrows. No further behaviour or manuscript tradition is added here without a source.
No bestiary page or manuscript image is shown here. One would need a folio-level source before it could appear.
