Question for anyone

Reddit Animals

A few minutes ago, I heard an odd clicking noise, looked around, and a ROBIN was chasing a rabbit!

Comebackers

10,000 Birds

Rabbits were introduced to the island by guano miners, which turned the previously verdant island into a giant sand dune; almost all vegetation was wiped out. They were secure in their isolated home here until humanity came to Laysan in the 1890s. Three other endemic bird species promptly went extinct, and by 1911 as few as 11 ducks remained.
