    Due to the early splitting of the Gondwana continent, Australia's species are highly distinctive, especially mammals, which are very different from other continents, and marsupials dominate. Before the start of modern colonization, Australia did not have a single rabbit – neither the domestic rabbit we knew nor the hares – had never landed on this vast continent.

    However, on other continents, rabbits have long been one of the many species that appear frequently in human life. The most common of these is the burrowing rabbit (oryctolagus cuniculus), which is distributed in southwestern Europe, and has been domesticated to become the domestic rabbit as we know it now, that is, the various meat, fur and pet rabbits that we can now come into contact with. As for when the burrowing rabbit was domesticated, it is still debated, but the medieval Roman Pope Gregory I made a significant contribution to the promotion of rabbit breeding, and it is said that the religious precepts of the time required that meat (except fish) should not be eaten during fasting, which was obviously intolerable for many meatless foodies, including Gregory I, so he willfully declared that the newborn rabbit should belong to a kind of fish, which led to the rapid growth of rabbit breeding at that time.

    Although the Romans did not rule for long, the rabbit hunt took root in England and gradually broke down class barriers and became a popular outdoor hunting sport for ordinary people. In 1788, the "First Fleet" of 11 ships transporting prisoners arrived in Australia, in addition to the prisoners, including some domestic rabbits, in the following decades, some Australian farmers also began to use rabbit cages to raise rabbits for food. At this time, people have noticed that Australia seems to be very suitable for raising rabbits, and the threats such as birds of prey and weasels that need to be guarded against when raising rabbits in Europe's hometown do not seem to exist here, and some farmers with a relatively high level of breeding seem to have a little more rabbits in their homes......

    Probably, in an environment where there are no natural predators, hares reproduce quickly.

    I think it's true, because invasive species reproduce a lot.

    Probably, after all, the early stage of the invasion of species is a very small number of individuals.
