Rabbits

What I would do

The definition of invasive species

Where rabbits invaded

native areas

I would take the rabbit's favorite food and put it in a cage, then when a rabbit comes over to eat it I would shut the gate.

More than half the world's rabbit population resides in North America. They are also native to southwestern Europe, Southeast Asia, Sumatra, some islands of Japan, and in parts of Africa and South America. They are not naturally found in most of Eurasia, where a number of species of hares are present.

Invasive species are defined as organisms (plant, animal, fungus, or bacterium) that are not native and has negative effects on a region's economy, environment, or public health. Not all introduced species are invasive.

What happens to invading rabbits

Rabbits exist in many different ecosystems in the Americas, their range extending all the way from South America to Canada but focused on meadows, valleys and other places where rabbits can live in cover and feed safely by night. Rabbits live in large warrens and need lots of room to graze, and they prefer the cover of the forest where hawks and other predators are less able to spot them at a distance.

Highly adaptable, the European rabbit now inhabits every continent except Asia and Antarctica. It is widespread in Western Europe including the Balearic Islands, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, and the British Isles; and Northwest Africa. It has recently been introduced to Southern South America; North America; Australia; New Zealand; and even, apparently, one Hawaiian Island. Of all these, it has been particularly detrimental to the Australian ecosystem.Rabbits, like most other pest species, were introduced when Europeans first settled in Australia. Rabbits were introduced from two main sources; the domesticated rabbit which provided early settlers with a ready source of meat, and the wild rabbit introduced later for hunting.
