Rabbits - considered the most destructive introduced pest in Australia - cause damage in the following ways.
Seven rabbits are said to each eat as much as one sheep, but they breed much more quickly. Their ability to increase rapidly and spread meant they literally ate their way across the nation. Grass, crops, young plants and trees are some of the things they consider delicious. Their diet, though, results in large areas of land being made into eroded wastelands. Revegetation is difficult unless they have been depleted in an area by introduced viruses. They particularly destroy leguminous plants which cannot then enrich the soil. These useful plants are replaced by weedy varieties that thrive on lower nutrient-rich soil.
Rabbits also compete with and displace the native animals which do not breed as rapidly. Rabbit mothers produce about five litters a year, with about six new little rabbits in each. This is thought to have affected the Bilby population, as just one example.
Because they needed to keep the rabbits out of business(Koalas as well)
Originally the indigenous inhabitants of Australia made an impact on the land of Australia. However major changes on the forests animal life and river systems were the result of European settlement after it was settled by the British.
to store all the crimeninals...it was the Australia of "New America"
Rabbits.
Australia's native inhabitant people Aborigins lost "control" over the continent (if there ever was any unified control) and it became populated by europeans.
The people who came to Australia in 1788 were the convicts, officers and marines who arrived on the First Fleet. These people made up the first official European settlement in Australia.
In the early days of farming in America, crops were not sprayed with chemicals to kill pests. That is what made them so susceptible to insect pests. Locusts and corn borers are the most destructive of plant pests for corn and wheat.
governments have made laws that you must have a license to hunt animals and restriction on what you can hunt like in Australia you don't need a license to hunt foxes, rabbits, hare etc.
Australia fought in WW2 as an ally of Great Britain in both the European and pacific parts of WW2. Australia made its forces and its infrastructure available in the war against the Germans and the Japanese.
Yes, Captain James Cook is closely associated with Australia. In 1770, he made the first recorded European discovery of the eastern coastline of Australia and claimed the land for Great Britain. His explorations and interactions with Indigenous Australians laid the foundations for subsequent British colonization and the establishment of modern Australia.
"Bunny" is a nick-name for "rabbit." Wild rabbits are a pest animal in Australia. They breed like crazy and eat like crazy, causing damage to crops as well as wild plants. Rabbits were introduced to Australia from Europe in the 19th century. I don't think there are any rabbit species native to Australia. Many methods of controlling rabbits have been employed in Australia, most famously (or infamously, because it was a spectacular failure), the rabbit-proof fence of 1907. More recently, biological methods have been used whereby diseases like Myxomatosis and RHD are released into the rabbit populations; this method has met with more success than more conventional controls. Rabbits are also kept as pets in Australia, as they are in many parts of the world.
