European rabbit
The European or common rabbit (Oryctolagus Cuniculus) is a species pf rabbit native to the Iberian peninsula and Northwest Africa and has been introduced to all continents besides Antarctica. Its main predators are the Iberian lynx, red fox, and Spanish imperial eagle and live in burrows called warrens. Australia has the most problems with European rabbits and is considered to be one of the 100 worst invasive species. Red foxes and dingoes were also introduced to Australia but the dingo isn't too harmful to native species. Dingoes have been introduced to Australia by Asian seafarers and red necked wallabies were introduced to Scotland. I wonder if that wallaby is considered to be on the 100 worst invasive species list. In the movie Zootopia (Known in Europe as Zootropolis), Judy Hopps is a European rabbit. Both European rabbits and Red foxes were introduced to Australia and are considered to be one of the 100 worst invasive species.
