No, there are no black wild rabbits If you are in the USA or North America, it’s probably an escapee as the domestic rabbit and the native rabbit, the cottontail, can’t readily crossbreed as they don’t have matching chromosomes. If you are in Europe it could be a domestic or a cross with the European wild rabbit.
