One of five images - Feral / wild rabbit [Oryctolagus cuniculus]. Known variously as coney, bunny or rabbett, living largely underground in burrows or warrens except when feeding. -/- Despite looking soft, furry and cute they are often regarded as an agricultural / garden pest, especially when introduced to areas without sufficient natural predators - although domesticated "fancy" breeds are widely kept as pets. Humans have exploited rabbits for centuries for both meat and pelts. In the wild, despite being highly fecund they are controlled by stoats, foxes and birds of prey in open country. Additionally, factors such as myxomatosis or rabbit haemorrhagic disease also control the population, despite the level of developing immunity, especially to myxomatosis [which is a horrible way to die].
