What are the differences in appearance between a male and female netherland lop rabbit?

There is no official Netherland lop rabbit. There are Netherland Dwarves and lop breeds including Mini Lop, Holland Lop, and more. A Netherland lop rabbit would be a mixed breed. Additionally, in rabbits, all that the breed guarantees is a certain look and not a certain personality. As for general differences between female and male rabbits, female rabbits generally develop a dewlap. And of course, female rabbits do not have penises and testicles, but without flipping a rabbit over to inspect in detail, the casual viewer cannot tell. For details about how to tell if a rabbit is male or female, see the related question below.

If there was only 1 rabbit left in England how would protect it?

That would be pointless.. If there is one Rabbit.. It cannot repoduce like Rabbits!... Rabitts breed - like rabbits! So once there are a few in any country there would always be rabbits there, it would be logistically impossibly to kill all but one rabbit in an area. Not if you cage 1 rabbit, Atom bomb the terrain.. Then replace the last rabbit. This is becoming surreal!
