Pretty sure there's some domestic lineage in that bunny. When I was a kid, we had some tame rabbits get out and bred with the wild ones. Some looked similar to that one.

Definately, one of a kind. I've never saw a wild rabbit that looked like that. Glad you shared it with us.

It's extremely hard to breed wild rabbits in captivity, but turn a domestic loose and it will happen. Just recently someone turned some white rabbits loose in the neighborhood (does) and now have seen some white and brown rabbits.

I would call that a piebald rabbit, seen it in deer.
This is said to be a young piebald swamp rabbit.

I have saw one rabbit that looked exactly like the blonde rabbit. Only time I've seen one like it I would say it was cottontail wasn't very big and ran pretty good. No houses or any reason for tame rabbits to be anywhere.
