Australia has been plagued by nearly 10 billion rabbits for decades. Can eating really solve the problem? More than 200 years ago, the British brought lively and cute rabbits to the UK. I thought to myself, such cute rabbits, how cute and beautiful it would be if I could see them in nature! However, the land of Australia seems to have magical powers. Because there is no reason for heaven and earth, the reproductive ability of rabbits is reflected. After a good meal, the number of rabbits in Australia has exceeded 10 billion. You must know that the total population of Australia is still With less than 25 million, a citizen can get more than 400 rabbits on average.

In the hearts of the Australian public, little rabbits have also changed from cute pets to animals more terrifying than snakes. They destroy pastures and have a great impact on Australia's natural environment. As a result, Australia began to introduce foxes, hoping to rely on the power of nature to eradicate the rabbit plague. But then, the Australians were dumbfounded. The rabbits were not exterminated, and foxes overran the area again.

Data shows that there is about one fox living in every 10 square meters in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. Under the claws of foxes, 20 species of wild animals have been eaten alive by foxes. The Australian government has allocated funds to exterminate foxes. A fox tail can be exchanged for 50 yuan. Professional fox exterminators can kill 700 foxes in a day. However, foxes are like leeks. After cutting one crop, another crop will appear, and they cannot be killed all. You can't bring in wolves just to kill the foxes! Dangerous thoughts, stop! Let’s leave the matter of the fox alone.

In order to eliminate rabbits, the Australian government used the most vicious trick. They introduced the "myxoma virus" from South America. This virus is spread by mosquitoes. In the beginning, the number of rabbits was indeed reduced by this virus. There was a sharp decline, but miraculously, all the rabbits that were not resistant to the virus died, but because there were so many rabbits, a large number of rabbits that were immune to the virus survived. The man-made virus has instead upgraded the rabbit, making it even more powerful.

Later, the Australian government even dispatched bombers to kill rabbits, but it was only for temporary pleasure. Rabbits gave birth to a litter once a month, with only 5-8 cubs left in each litter. This reproduction rate is even faster than that of an atomic bomb. Fear.
