Palomino rabbits
The Palomino rabbit is a breed of rabbit, normally 8-12 pounds in weight, which is generally colored gold or lynx. It was first bred in Washington State, United States, by Mark Youngs, who wanted to make a ''new'' breed of rabbit. As with the palomino horse, the rabbit gets its name from its color.
