I subscribe to this community because it is cute to see pictures of them, but they are an absolute pest over here. In my state it's illegal to own them as a pet, and they are highly regulated for use byr like magicians.
In other states large numbers survive and landowners are obliged to kill them, with recommendations for poisoning, fumigating, or shooting all being recommended in different circumstances.
Not cute.
That picture is used on the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myxomatosis page with the caption
Rabbits around a waterhole in the myxomatosis trial site on Wardang Island, Australia in 1938
Basically a biological weapon used against the rabbits. Tldr: the rabbits and virus won by coevolving.
Australia has had really shit luck dealing with nuisance animals, huh?
