Cute fluffers are taking over in Florida

"A community in South Florida has an adorable problem on its hands.

Dozens of domesticated bunnies have overrun parts of Wilton Manors, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale. Two years after a resident let loose lionhead rabbits from their backyard, according to local lore, the number of rabbits now outnumber the 81 homes in the Jenada Isle neighborhood."

So if you go to Florida, pack your Moxie, your fire axe and vanilla along with your sunscreen.

The pythons and boas in Florida were not native to the Everglades. People thought it would be cool to have a pet constrictor, but discovered it was awkward to feed them and snakes can be a lot of work. So they figured big snakes live in the jungle, so we can just let this one go wild and it will survive. But then the native species of big predators get out-competed.

When I landed in Oz, they didn't like the snacks I'd brought to eat on the plane. No raw fruits or vegetables or anything like that - just some cupcakes. But I bought snacks on my way to my hotel in downtown Melb. I loved Melbourne, and I'd go again if I could afford to.
