Rabbit Splosion

A frustrated school dumps a bunch of rabbits onto a former chemical warfare plant island in Japan.  The result?  Explosive population growth. :)  Its now a tourist destination for bunny lovers.


"Today, the island is uninhabited, but the remains of the facility buildings, including gas containers and a power plant, are still there. It is believed that rabbits were first taken to the island in 1971, after an elementary school in Takehara found it difficult to keep the animals at school. According to the Kyukamura Okunoshima resort hotel, most of the visitors to the island consisted of students on school study trips and senior tourists."
