Great Big Story paid a visit to the famous “Okunoshima Rabbit Island” in Japan to learn why so many feral bunnies have made the beautiful, balmy isle their forever home and why they are as friendly as they are.
Imagine an island filled only with rabbits. Okunoshima is a small island in Japan’s Inland Sea. It’s called “Rabbit Island” because of the thousands of feral rabbits that roam the land. No one knows exactly how they got there, but since the end of World War II, the rabbits have been doing what they do best … multiplying.
