I guess Florida must have wild European rabbits then too. When I was a lot younger, I had two lop-eared rabbits, Frisky and Carrot. Frisky was what I assume would be called agouti (I know it's called agouti in rats, but not sure about rabbits) - that flecked brown wild-type coloration. We let them have the run of the yard on nice afternoons, secured with a collar tied to a rope tied to a post. My dad had them out to play in the yard one day, and went inside for a few minutes to use the bathroom, and when he came back, he found Frisky had slipped her collar and was gone. We lived in the middle of the woods, on a dirt road, and knew that there were wild rabbits around, so we hoped that she managed to find an okay life in the wild.

Well, apparently she did, because the next spring we saw a whole litter of baby bunnies munching on our lawn, and a good chunk of them had lop ears, which I can't imagine happens that often in the wild.
