This bunny lives near my house. It was up against my neighbor’s house avoiding the rain. We think there’s a bunny warren right there with some baby bunnies. I just wanted to pick up this cute bun and cuddle it, but I knew that it would run away. (And, besides, it’s usually not a good idea to cuddle wild animals.) It was sitting there for quite a few hours before vanishing, but it will be back I’m sure.
Really sad that the bunnies that live everywhere around my house are a pest and need to be eradicated because they take resources away from the native wildlife. We also have feral cats and foxes 😭
It’s a massive problem in Australia. One of their worst invasive species.
I cant believe people just kept bringing animals here! Cane toads, cats, foxes, rabbits, the list goes on. Not to mention the invasive plants
The rabbits thing happened a long time ago. Some rich dude got like a dozen and set them loose on his property so he could hunt them. They multiplied like rabbits tend to and spread.
I would have thought they’d be some good grub for predators down there but I guess not enough to keep their population in check. The government actually tried using biological warfare on the rabbits without success.
The buggers collapsed the piers under my kitchen.
