feral rabbit
Untamed burrowing mammal
A feral rabbit is a domestic rabbit living in the wild, descended from escaped or released pets.
Unlike wild rabbits native to a region, feral rabbits come from domesticated stock and often retain traits—varied coat colors, docile temperaments—that make them poorly adapted to survive without human care.
In some areas, feral rabbit populations have become invasive pests.
