The European rabbit has caused an ecological disaster in Australia.
Rabbits eat the native vegetation which is the primary food source of Australian native animals. This loss of native food sources has led to the extinction of many Australian mammal species. Rabbits breed much faster than Australia's native animals, so competition for food sources is high. The rabbit has had a large impact on the bilby for another reason as well. Rabbits dig burrows which cause problems for the bilby's habitat, as they tend to cause the bilbies to be caved in.
Further, rabbits tend to eat vegetation right down to the roots, meaning that the plant cannot regrow, and revegetation does not occur. This can certainly lead to indigenous plant species being wiped out, along with the fauna. And because rabbits eat vegetation down to the roots, this means there are fewer low-growing shrubs and grasses to prevent erosion from wind and rain. This in turn leads to increased desertification.
Rabbits have caused huge problems for Australia's agricultural industry, wiping out entire crops. They also eat the food that livestock require, so this impacts on the health of sheep and cattle, especially in more arid areas.
High reproductive rate
The European Rabbit is native to south west Europe and north west Africa (Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Algeria). That's where they come from, and where they still live in the wild.The European Rabbit also lives in the wild of many other places in the world (like Australia, and the UK), because humans introduced them to the area. In many of these areas, the European Rabbit has become an invasive species.The European Rabbit has also been domesticated. As a domestic animal (pet, show, farm, lab), the European Rabbit lives all over the world.
well im doing reseach on the european rabbit so during the spring the mate and make babys then the dad rabbit leaves thier babys and mama and never come back.
There are many different rabbit species. See the link below for a list of different rabbit species. All domestic rabbits belong to the European Rabbit species (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

Nothing
They are the same species (European Rabbit), but they are different breeds.
no
New Zealand white rabbits are the same species as all pet rabbits: the European Rabbit (also known as the Common Rabbit). The European Rabbit's scientific name is Oryctolagus cuniculus.
Ring Neck Pheasant European Starling House Sparrow Are all invasive species in North America.
ones bigger than the other
yes All rabbit species, including the European Rabbit -- all mammals, in fact -- have both a mouth and an anus; so, that's two digestive openings.
I believe the took a boat.
