4. How did the myxomatosis disease originate in Australia?

Answer: Scientists released the deadly disease into the wild to reduce the population of Australian rabbits

Myxomatosis is a disease which has no cure as yet. It was introduced to the wild by humans to rid Australia of the massive numbers of rabbits which were destroying crops. However, they didn't expect the disease to get quite so out of control - pet rabbits are even at risk.

Interestingly, it is only European rabbits that are affected - rabbits from other countries have been found to be immune.

Answer: Hearing

The rabbit's large ears move independently to pick up as much sound as is possible.

Rabbits can run up to 35 miles per hour That doesn't mean cats never catch them, though.

7. Dandelions can be a diuretic for rabbits.

Dandelions are a great treat to give rabbits, but if you feed them a lot it can mean you need to clean out the hutch a bit more often!

An Abyssinian is a type of guinea pig, which is known for its coat texture and formation, with its fur arranged in rosettes all over its body.

(I found this at www.animalcorner.co.uk/pets/rabbits/rabbit_history.html, if you want to check it out.)
