Rabbits are very popular breeding animals. In the past rabbits there had only been wild rabbits – they were domesticated in the Roman times. Today there are both, wild rabbits that occur in forests, on meadows and fields, as well as domesticated rabbits. Rabbits are often mistaken with hares. Both species can be easily distinguished by the places they live in (hares avoid forests) and by the color of their fur in winter (hares change the color and in winter it is white, and rabbits have a grey one).
