Australia
" Do a blog post on the rabbits that took over Australia " says Mr. Bowen every week. Well, I am doing a blog post on the rabbits that took over Australia everybody! See from my research I know that rabbits have of about 4-12 kits per litter and they can have up to 12 liters a year which is unlikely because the doe does need healing time but possible. So I figure that rabbits could take over a country in no time at all. The problem started when 24 wild European rabbits were released into Australia in 1788. Obviously, the hunters were no Robin Hood and couldn't shoot a bow for their life which means the rabbits all escaped and took over the country in a short amount of time. That is the lame part! The best The most historically significant part is that the rabbits spread west where the settlers did not live or want the rabbits. So they built a fence to keep the rabbits where they wanted them and to keep the Australian native species on the opposite side which separated the Aubergines from the Europeans in every-way possible. This is really cool it's like The Great Wall of China, or the Berlin Wall.
