The New Zealand White is a large white pink eyed muscular rabbit that is popular as a laboratory rabbit. It was originally bred in the USA for fur and meat.
A New Zealand White rabbit would weigh 8 - 10 lbs for a male, and a pound or so heavier for the female.
New Zealand white rabbits are the same species as all pet rabbits: the European Rabbit (also known as the Common Rabbit). The European Rabbit's scientific name is Oryctolagus cuniculus.

To reduce the rabbit population
Not always, New Zealand rabbits were bred for fur and meat. This rabbit is a good pet for experienced rabbit owners. Beginners should get gentle rabbits like the Dutch, Netherland Dwarf, or English Lop.
About 4 or 5 different breeds that I can think of. New Zealand whites, silver fox, standard rex, and a semi new one called AlTex. Maybe even Californians.
