Do European rabbits live in the wild in North America?
Current Distribution: Highly adaptable, the European rabbit now inhabits every continent except Asia and Antarctica. It is widespread in Western Europe including the Balearic Islands, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, and the British Isles; and Northwest Africa. It has recently been introduced to Southern South America; North America; Australia; New Zealand; and even, apparently, one Hawaiian Island. Of all these, it has been particularly detrimental to the Australian ecosystem.
