Rabbits
From Tolkien Gateway
Rabbits were long-eared, furry animals, also called 'coneys'. On 7 March T.A. 3019 in northern Ithilien, Samwise Gamgee asked Gollum to bring him some food. Gollum brought him two small rabbits which Sam proceeded to cook, to Gollum's intense displeasure.[1]
Etymology
In a linguistic manuscript dating from the 1930s, appears the Qenya glosses tundu ("hole") and lopotundu ("rabbithole");[2] lopo (attested only in this compound) would thus be a Qenya word for "rabbit".
