Many Australians like rabbits as pets, but one would hope that the majority of Australians recognise that the wild rabbit, introduced to Australia, is a pest.
The European rabbit has caused an ecological disaster in Australia. Rabbits eat the native vegetation which is the primary food source of Australian native animals. This loss of native food sources has led to the extinction of many Australian mammal species. Rabbits breed much faster than Australia's native animals, so competition for food sources is high. The rabbit has had a large impact on the bilby for another reason as well. Rabbits dig burrows which cause problems for the bilby's habitat, as they tend to cause the bilbies to be caved in.
Further, rabbits tend to eat vegetation right down to the roots, meaning that the plant cannot regrow, and revegetation does not occur. This can certainly lead to indigenous plant species being wiped out, along with the fauna. And because rabbits eat vegetation down to the roots, this means there are fewer low-growing shrubs and grasses to prevent erosion from wind and rain. This in turn leads to increased desertification.
Rabbits have caused huge problems for Australia's agricultural industry, wiping out entire crops. They also eat the food that livestock require, so this impacts on the health of sheep and cattle, especially in more arid areas.

Yes, some Australians do.
Rabbits, an introduced species, are seen as nothing more than pests and an ecological disaster by Australians (apart from the sentimental few who see them as cute, fluffy pets).
Yes cougars can swim but they arent very fond of it. They will swim if they have to but otherwise they will find a way around it.
Rabbits arent rodents they are lagomorphs and are characterised by their 4 front upper incisors while the rat is a rodent and has 1 pair of incisors top and bottom
i think that there are: bears elk deer rabbits muskrats beavers bobcats though those arent all
A better question is..."why do North Koreans love tyranny?".
They don't. A "porky" is a lie. If someone has told you that Australians call echidnas porkies, they are telling you a porky. Some people may call them porkies for two reasons - porkie is short for porcupine and, even though echidnas are not related to porcupines, they have sharp spines like porcupines do. Also, the word porcupine rhymes with spine (the sharp quills on an echidna) and Australians are fond of rhyming slang.
I believe that would be the rabbit. In the 19th century, an English nobleman brought rabbits to Australia so he can continue to enjoy rabbit-hunting away from home. However, some of the rabbits escaped and their descendants are now a major problem among Australians.
no, only if you feed pellets or have wide wires so the mouse/rat can get through
Favourite animal unknown! But he has a cat called jess, and hates rabbits as he thinks they are pointless!
Personally, I have had TONS of rabbits and they're in heat for at least 2-7 days. maybe a little longer depending on the breed. I've had Mini Lops, Mini Rexes, Checkered Giants, Jersey Wooleys, New zelands, Silver Marten... I have owned every breed, but the English Lop!!!!!!!
Australians are not wombats. Wombats are marsupials. Australians are humans, which are placental mammals.
