Rabbits are still a serious pest in Australia. They came originally from a climate very much like that of southern Australia. Breeding begins when the first green growth comes after the winter rains, and ends when the grass dries out and the summer temperatures rise. Nutrients in the green shoots are essential for breeding. Young rabbits born in winter are easy prey for cats, owls and goshawks; foxes and goannas eat adults. Rabbits spend daytime hours in burrows, which are difficult to dig in rocky areas. Rabbits do not thrive in damp ground as the young do not thrive in cold, wet conditions. Which of these lists names two biotic and two abiotic factors that affect rabbits?
