    All the people of Australia are struggling to get rid of these rampant hares. People tried all kinds of things, but they couldn't control it because of their ability to reproduce. Some people have proposed to use the wild lynx to eliminate the hare, but the lynx does not only eat rabbits, but also preys on other species, and if it accidentally eats the national treasure koala, the gain outweighs the loss; And even if the rabbits are all wiped out, it will take extra time and effort to deal with the lynx.

    Therefore, it is not feasible to use lynx to eliminate hares.

    1. The cause of the hare infestation in Australia The phenomenon of hare infestation in Australia has been tossed for decades. At that time, people just wanted to catch some hares for food, but they ran 5 of them, because the breeding ability was too strong, coupled with the Australian environment, the fertile grassland is very suitable for the hare to survive, so in a few decades it reached tens of billions of rabbits. So it was proposed to use the lynx to get rid of the hare, which was shaped like a cat, but it was a much larger animal than a cat.

    They prefer to move at night and specialize in preying on small animals, such as hares, small wild boars, and other animals.

    2. The harm of lynx preying on hares Although the lynx likes to eat hares, it will prey on other animals. If in case they also prey on Australia's national treasure, the koala, it will bring even greater damage. It would be much more difficult to spend more manpower, material resources and energy to protect the koalas than to exterminate tens of billions of hares; Even if the lynx wiped out all the hares and didn't harm the other critters.

    Then the lynx will also breed and grow in this land like a hare. When the lynx finishes eating the hare, it will eat other animals, and the lynx is more difficult to control than the hare. So this approach is not feasible.

    Every day, the people of Australia struggle to get rid of these untold hares. Many methods have been used to control their growth. In a few decades, it has grown to tens of billions.

    So some people thought of using lynx to exterminate hares, but lynxes, which are fierce animals, also prey on other animals, and have a strong reproductive ability, will be more difficult than exterminating hares. Therefore, it is not advisable to use lynx to exterminate hares. So the Australian people have a long way to go on the road to eradicate hares.

    Lynx eats not only rabbits, but other animals as well. If a lynx comes to Australia and finds that koalas are tastier than rabbits and easier to catch than rabbits, it's not that koalas will decline or even become extinct.

    In this way, the lynx will also spread, and the ecosystem will also be destroyed, because the lynx has plenty of food and a good living environment.

    Because the lynx has a ferocious temperament, except for the love of eating hares, there is no world in Australia, so if the introduction of lynx to exterminate rabbits, the gains will outweigh the losses. Therefore, lynx is not the first choice for rabbit extermination.

    Because the local people do not have the habit of eating rabbits, this situation will occur, and because the local living environment is relatively good, suitable for rabbits to survive, there are no natural predators, so it leads to flooding.

    Australia is indeed overrun with wild rabbits, and the reproductive ability of rabbits is a must, and there is a famous rabbit number series problem in mathematics. Australian hares, at first, also ** with more than 20 rabbits from the people, but soon the situation developed uncontrollablyThe rapid breeding of rabbits, which once reached tens of billions, became a rabbit disaster for the Australian people.

    Rabbits are not as harmless as they look, their mass breeding, eating vegetation, for Australian agriculture at that time was a huge harm, pastures are dilapidated, soil erosion, serious threat to the Australian ecosystem. The Australian people woke up and began large-scale hunting activities, but they couldn't catch up with the speed of rabbits. At that time, a smart person came up with the idea that it would be better to introduce some natural enemies of rabbits, so many foxes came to Australia to catch rabbits.

    These cunning foxes came here to see how difficult rabbits are to catch, and how easy it is for the local stupid animals to catch, and as a result, those native species have become the delicacies of foxes, and the rabbits have not been affected at all. Foxes are overflowing again, and they can only be hunted.

    Or open up Australian visas, introduce Chinese chefs, spicy rabbit heads, braised rabbit meat, and roasted rabbit pieces with sauce, and save Australia by foodies.

    Australia introduced wolves or other animals in order to eradicate rabbits, but wolves found that rabbits were too cunning to catch, so it was better to turn to other protozoa that were easy to catch. As a result, the number of rabbits has not decreased, and the rest of the protozoa have been reduced.

    Originally, Australia has been tossed by the introduced species, and the introduction of new species does not know whether it will be widespread or harmful to the extinction of native species, so I dare not introduce them casually.

    Because Australia's ecological environment does not allow the introduction of cats, the introduction of new species has too much impact on its ecological environment. Australia is also a magical country, and we know that there are so many kangaroos in Australia, and kangaroos are their national treasure. There are various shops selling ham sausages made from kangaroo meat, meatloaf, and more.

    Compared with other countries, national treasures are all "diplomatic ambassadors", and kangaroos, a national treasure, do have no status. But the reason for this is that there is a big problem with Australia's ecological environment.

    Why are there so many hares in Australia? First of all, Australia does not have so many rabbits, but European hares, and a colonist in order to be able to hunt in Australia, he sent 17 rabbits from Europe and stocked them on his farm, and in just six years, his farm has tens of thousands of rabbits. There was no room for so many rabbits, so they had to be released outward, and the rabbit plague in Australia began.

    The reproductive system of rabbits is amazing, with two uteruses, and can give birth to six litters a year, and they can escape extremely fast, reaching up to 72 kilometers per hour.

    Why can't lynx be introduced to Australia? The thylacine at the top of the Australian chain is extremely small and is found on only one island. The dingo is also consistently found in the north.

    And for hares, thylacines and wild dogs are relatively difficult to catch, and it is better to catch large wild animals such as cattle and sheep, so the number of hares cannot be controlled. The lynx is a feline, and Australia's native cats occupy 99% of the country's territory, not only in large numbers, but also harm local birds, mammals, and even wild cats are hunted by locals. If more ferocious lynx were introduced, wouldn't Australia's endangered creatures be completely extinct?

    Therefore, the introduction of new species in a balanced ecological environment will have a great impact on the region. This is not only manifested in animals, but also in China, just like the introduction of water hyacinth, which has a great impact on the ecology of our country.

    There are no lynx in Australia. Although the lynx eats hares, Australia does not, and if introduced, it could damage Australia's ecosystem, and the gains outweigh the losses.

    This is an ecological imbalance in the natural environment, the increase of hares will endanger the survival of other organisms, if the increase of lynx will further lead to ecological imbalance, and the flooding of lynx is also not good for the ecological environment.

    There is no such species in Australia, and the lynx is a natural enemy of hares, and the rash introduction of hares may reduce the population, but the emergence of lynx colonies is a major problem.

    Although the lynx eats rabbits, and can eat two a day, and can eat three or four when feeding the young, but there is no lynx species in Australia, if it is introduced to Australia, first of all, the invasion of foreign species will cause damage to the ecology of Australia, and the lynx is a more ferocious animal.

    Will eat other things, and will also harm other animals native to Australia.
