'''Rabbits''' are small [[mammals]]. They are kept as [[pet]]s, eaten as a food source, and appear wild in nature. In some countries rabbits are a pest species causing great environmental damage. In [[Australia]] they were introduced as prey for the [[fox]] (which was also introduced as sport for British colonial hunters). From an initial introduction of 24 specimens, rabbits have since become the most serious pest in Australia causing untold environmental damage.

Rabbits are not native to the [[British Isles]]. They were introduced by the [[Normans]] and farmed throughout the [[medieval]] period in purpose-built [[warren]]s.
