RE: Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were introduced to Australia for sport hunting in the 19th century, but ended up being responsible for the extinction of several native species, including the desert rat-kangaroo (Caloprymnus campestris)
This was a great read, thanks for sharing, i'v always been interested in things of this nature. I think that if they were to introduce the rabbit it would cause a trophic cascade and potentially be detrimental to other species which rely of the same food sources as the rabbits.
You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it :)
The rabbits are already introduced to Australia; it happened about the same time as the fox.
