Original Note:
Although the figure of 10 billion rabbits is often used, it is likely to be an exaggeration. When scientists used myxomatosis to cull the rabbit population in Australia, roughly half a billion rabbits were killed, estimated to be close to 100% of the feral rabbit population. https://amp.abc.net.au/article/12529702
