You are correct, domesticated rabbits are descended from the European wild rabbit, a species which is entirely unrelated to the wild rabbits of North America. Perhaps what has you confused, is the way the OP phrased it. What he said was:

something like a wild rabbit

The rabbit in question is a domestic rabbit, it just has the wild-type coloration. We call a rabbit with the wild-type coloration a Chestnut Agouti. I'm guessing that he didn't know this, am I right, Cole?​

yep.thats right.i had no idea what colr is was.thanks for letting me know.

Here I go again . . . .

Your new guy is handsome, but he isn't a Red. He's a Castor, which is a deeper, richer, redder shade of Chestnut. Castor is a color that is unique to Rex rabbits, and is actually the original color of the Rex breed. When the breed was first exhibited, the breeder introduced them under the name "Castor Rex," which is Latin for "King Beaver." The genus name for beaver is Castor; apparently the short, dense coat of the Rex rabbit reminded the breeder of the short, dense undercoat of beavers.

this guy is a Red:

Slightly out of focus (yes, he really is this color!)

A bit over exposed!

Obviously, I need to brush up on my camera work, but you get the idea!
