The European Rabbit is native to south west Europe and north west Africa (Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Algeria). That's where they come from, and where they still live in the wild.
The European Rabbit also lives in the wild of many other places in the world (like Australia, and the UK), because humans introduced them to the area. In many of these areas, the European Rabbit has become an invasive species.
The European Rabbit has also been domesticated. As a domestic animal (pet, show, farm, lab), the European Rabbit lives all over the world.
