Re - the Black Rabbits. There is somewhere in Canada - either Victoria on Vancouver Island, or Vancouver - which has a large population of black rabbits- think it was in the grounds of a university. The theory was that they were pet rabbits that had been released and had multiplied in the way that rabbits do. They were a tourist attraction!!
