Australia, you so crazy

What I don’t understand is how those imported rabbits got out of control. This is Australia. If they had released grizzly bears into the wild in Australia, you’d expect them to get eaten by the native wildlife. How did rabbits manage to survive?

There are many strategies to survival. The rabbit way is to make more rabbits. They make more rabbits faster than you can kill them.

You put one in the morgue, his wife just had ten babies. That’s the Rabbit way.

Forget it Jake, it’s Australiatown.

The article implies that this is a new discovery. But it also implies they’re not really rare (“On a good morning, you can walk around and see hundreds of them.”) If that’s the case, how would something so outlandish have been overlooked until now?

That’s an easy one. They have a naturally evolved Sombody Else’s Problem camouflage field generator.

Because obviously a giant pink slug is Somebody Else’s Problem.

They were only discovered when someone coming down from a particularly colorful acid trip noticed that not all of the hallucinations were going away.

Perhaps the dingos can be trained to eat pink slugs, rather than babies.

Ever seen a newborn baby? They ARE pink slugs.

Well you see … when two rabbits love each other very much…

or just happen to see or smell one another…
