"What do you think when you hear the word “rabbit”? Does your mind conjure
images of cartoon bunnies eating carrots? Or the fluffy tails and floppy ears
of pet bunnies? Maybe you think about their incredible ability to reproduce.
For many Australians, “rabbit” is synonymous with “pest” because of their
infamous introduction and subsequent invasion around 164 years ago. The
destruction rabbits cause to Australian landscapes is harmful and serious, but
there’s a lot more to bunnies when we cast our thoughts overseas.
With the Year of the Water Rabbit starting in the Chinese calendar on January
22, it’s the perfect time to expand your rabbit knowledge across the far
reaches of the globe, highlighting several species that really need our
support."
