The Tapeti ("Sylvilagus brasiliensis"), also known as the Brazilian Rabbit or Forest Rabbit, is a cottontail rabbit species found in Central and South America.

It is a solitary nocturnal animal, usually seen after nightfall or before dawn, feeding on grass and browse. It is found in forested habitats, close to swamps and along river edges, and in disturbed areas, such as gardens and plantations.cite book | author = Louise H.
