Bunny racing is called a sport we already know about Horse and Dog races but rabbit racing is an old sport but it’s new to Australia.Rabbit owners really like competing with their fuzzy companions it might look easy but it’s not really when there’s an acident on the course they have to spray the area with vinegar so the other Rabbits don’t get distracted.

This sport is enjoyed by the hole family.But farmers aren’t to kean on rabbits aspecily since they have allot of  hares (wild rabbits).Hares are usually brown with long ears that stand up but they have two enemies Farmers and Eagles.

But back to the non-wild Rabbits the rabbits can be put on leads but the Rabbits have to be trained witch recriers allot of care.So that might mean that  soon there might be an Animal olympics

Time for a quiz

q1  what are wild Rabbits called ?

q2  Training recriers allot of  what ?

q3 What do they spray the track with what ?

Ferrel Goats have invaded Kangaroo island.  

Even though they don’t sound very dangerous they are driving the Glossy cockatoo to extinction because the Ferrel goats favorite meal is the only thing that the Glossy cockatoo eats. The hunters are been told to shoot the Ferrel goats but they need a bit more help.So they are training goats secretly to help get rid of the Ferrel goats and they are Spy goats. The spy goats are being sent over to kangaroo island to do their jobs the hunters can recognise the spy goats thanks to the radio collars.  

Some Environmentalists are saying that the island is better off without the Ferrel goats.There are now less than 100 Ferrel goats even though they were a menace some people are going to be sad to see them go.

3where  are the spy goats being sent to?

So they have formed a group of people to help find out how many there are out there.They put fishing line in a tree then they put a bag underneath the line.The micro bats hit the fishing line then slide down and land in the bag and sit there for an hour with no problem until the people come and let them out.

The Tasmanian devil is endanger like Manyof you know but scientists have nealy found a cure for the terrible facile tumor that has killed almost thousands of Tassie devils.But these Tassie devils aren’t like Tas that we should all know of one of the all favorite t.v. show loony tunes you can’t drop a ten ton weight on top of them and they will survive.But if you could we wouldn’t have to worry about the facile tumor but sadly we can’t do that so help the Tassie devils sevive.
