No.

Rabbits are banned as pets in Queensland as they pose too great a risk to the environment through the actions of irresponsible pet owners who happily abandon their pets out in the bush. Rabbit licences are also not issued for educational purposes. There is no need for a school to keep a pet rabbit when a guinea pig will do just as well.

That means you cannot get a licence to keep rabbits in Queensland. Exceptions may be made for certain animal sanctuaries, but some of these keep rabbits illegally - or out of ignorance - because it is too difficult for them to obtain the necessary permission. Fines are quite high and it is not worth the risk.

It is illegal to keep rabbits or hares in Queensland. Licences cannot be purchased for the keeping of these animals, even for educational institutions.

You can't because rabbits don't belong there, are overpopulated, and are considered pests. If one were to escape, they would breed. Rabbits have no natural predators in Australia.

How do I find the hare and tortoise story?

The basic story is that the tortoise and the hare decided to have a race, and the hare, being so fast, got ahead so far that it decided to take a nap, while the tortoise, which was much slower, just kept walking. The hare woke up to find that the tortoise had passed her, and won the race. The moral is "slow and steady wins the race." It is basically a tale encouraging us to keep at it even if we aren't the best... as long as we keep working at it, we can still succeed. There is a comprehensive Wikipedia article on the 'race. Just search 'the tortoise and the hare' on Wikipedia for the fully detailed story.


Why does the arctic hare have thick fur?

The arctic hare has thick fur to help keep it warm in cold Arctic climates. The dense fur acts as insulation, trapping heat close to the hare's body and protecting it from the harsh cold temperatures. The fur also helps the hare blend in with its snowy surroundings, providing camouflage from predators.
