Rabbits in Australia

In 1859, settlers released 12 rabbits in Australia. There was plenty of food and no natural predators for the rabbits. The rabbit population increased so fast that the country was soon overrun by rabbits. Then, the Australian government introduced a rabbit virus to control the population. The first time the virus was used, more than 99% of the rabbits died. The survivors reproduced, and the rabbit population grew large again. The second time the virus was used, about 90% of the rabbits died. Once again, the rabbit population increased. The third time the virus was used, only about 50% of the rabbits died.

Suggest what changes might have occurred in the rabbits and the virus.

What type of food chain would the rabbits be in? Research what animals would be included in this food chain. How would this affect the food chain or food web that the rabbits are in? Is there some type of adaptation that occurred in the rabbits and the virus? (9-11 sentences, typed)- turn this in on the classwork page!
