1. cony

   A cony is an old term for a rabbit or a pika, small mammals that are known for their short ears and long hind legs. The term is derived from the Latin word "cuniculus". Additionally, cony can also refer to a type of fur made from the skin of a rabbit. It is largely considered an archaic term today, mostly replaced by more specific and commonly used terms such as rabbit or hare.
