Rabbit breeds around the world

A rabbit breed consists of animals of the same sort, with the same form, colors, and markings and pass on similar characteristics to their offspring. Domestic pet rabbits are descendants of the European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus. There are many recognized breeds in the US and UK rabbit registries; however, many pet rabbits are mixed.
