Odd looking Rabbits

[borderterrier 0]

The fields are alive with rabbits at the moment, dozens of them everywhere.

While out with the dogs yesterday i saw 5 quite young ones all much the same to look at, apart from one.

This one had a white front right leg as far up as its shoulder.

I'm sure its a throw back to one of its ancestors getting together with a domestic/tame rabbit at some time, but was wondering if any of you guys have come across oddly marked rabbits on your travels.

i shot a rabbit with three legs the other week. no stump or anything just a smooth bit where the leg should have been.

on my way to work this morning i seen a young bunny that was the weirdest colour ever.

 

It was like a ginger/beige ! wish i had my gun ir the camera with me

all tame rabbits come from wild rabbits so any color you can get in tame you could get in wild we get a lot ginger, few whites and blacks plus the wild color can have white marking,called the dutch... also get a few with long hair, but there is a field near the town of oswestry , where it seem the un-wanted pets get dumped , seen lops and even a rex rabbit , and all shapes and colors

Maybe they had been tangoed, lol. i remember coming across a couple of very strange light tan coloured rabbits with blue eyes. These were indeed wild rabbits that were in all the right proportions but just a different colour. I assumed that they were interbred with a tame bunny that had either escaped or was set loose.
