The Mystery of Rabbit Island
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2016
- 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.

you'd be like 'wtf'
Cute for the visitors but the bunnies are in bad shape
Really?

Dont worry i gave the rabbits swords.
sheep boy 101 you can, it’s called Wales 🏴😂
1:20 That scared the crap out of me when I thought that the car was gonna run over the bunny.
Yeah, glad it didn’t though
Same lol
But what if it did?...
@@OmegaExt wtf
@@OmegaExt describe it
so they have rabbit island, and cat island in japan? I'll packed my stuff and move there soon
Fadhli Akhmad Sadar theres a fox island too i think
Fadhli Akhmad Sadar Don't forget Deer Island (Miyajima/Itsukushima) and Deer City (Nara)!
Fadhli Akhmad Sadar count me in!😂👍🏼
now mix the two together and you get horror island.
Een trotse Nederlander and mixing u with ugly people make a toxic island
Its a paradise! It has beaches, beautiful palms, and bunnys, its the best thing ever!
yayGamer_100 000 Don't forget radiation, broken buildings, and death!!!
Daniella Lim Well i dont know how much radiation there is there, but i do know that we humans can survive more than rabbits, and they live there with looking like no problem. And maybe theres not a place to live, but its a beautiful place
.......... This is a joke.
And sex, lots of sex. You know what they say about bunnies.
UA-cam you're high, high as the sky, why? ? ????
It's all fun and games until someone forgets their cat on the island...
Wow 😂😂😂
Cats don't eat rabbits
@@lyumnam7085 They will kill a rabbit in a New York second and eat their fill.
The males would simply form up and kill it...
Umm, look up rabbit attacks on cats. It would NOT be pretty for the cat.
rabbits are good in mathematics, they're multiplying
Don’t worry I’m subtracting their lives 🤗
@@doggiechan5278 this made me from XD to O_O real quick

If you plus them, they multiply

Troll ZYNuts actually because rabbits breed and breed with no predators they will eat out their resources and starve to death. Unless the humans jumped it to contain how many there are and the food
Don't underestimate humans. They'll always find a way to make animals extinct and then act clueless about it,

I've stayed there for 3 days....
It was magical.
BRUDDA, IS BUNNY ISLAND WHERE DA WEY LEADS?
IT MUST BE DE WEY
Reigh Freuden rip uganda
Your lying cause there’s a dark truth and most bunnies are sick and hurt
I've been there it was lovely and relaxing biked the entire island in 20 minutes and feed lots of rabbits
Me: how many am I gonna steal?
Brain: yes.
*really important*
hey just wanna point this out: the rabbits' only source of food and care is the people who come to visit them. most people bring them lettuce and stuff, and even though lettuce is good for them, that shouldn't be their entire diet. if you go there, bring them as much timothy hay as you can! hay is supposed to be 80% of their diet so that's super important.
No these rabbits were not part of any experiments ! They were part of a Japanese plan to produce Kamakazi rabbits who were trained to pilot small airplanes into allied ships.
Or possibly the rabbits were the planes and they would expand their ears by will to parachutes into enemy territory and then detonate?
Is this a spin-off of John Finnemore's WWII cat navigator bits?

😄😄😄
if you watch Lennon the bunny and search for a video, I think the title was “the truth about rabbit island” you will find out the truth as it states
Ive seen it
Yeah,
Here's the video: ua-cam.com/video/mP6LHPIW12M/v-deo.html
She exaggerates. the island is not a house so not all rabbits are looked after understandably. Also any place where there are animals there are going to be sick animals.
@@bluecat5669 the problem is that noone is there to look after the sick buns. They are mostly uncared for
They have fox village, cat island and now a rabbit island. Japan has really everything.
They're are SO Cute
CakeGirl MCPE wtf do u mean "they're are" that is basically saying "they are are so cute" learn some grammar
Will Da Beast You wrote "u" so you can't talk really.
CakeGirl MCPE not until i shoot them skin them and eat them then shit them out

Must be a lot of poop to clean up
Google_ tranSLAV not all of it
Bacteria decompose poop

Rabbit eats plant
It’s the circle of life!
@@frontierr3471 no they don't.. i have a bunny and he doesn't eat poop. I always have to clean it all while he sleeps
@@rawpaw7071 They make 2 kind of poops. One of them, they need to eat, because it completes the digestion of the food, they pick them from their anus, that is why we don´t see them, even though sometimes they defecate them, but it is not common. They are shiny and steaky. The other poops, the ones we see every day, they don´t eat, they are disposables.
@@rawpaw7071 That is why they are cecotrophes.
It's simple. Some random man set them free in a place where they don't live, and they become invasive species.
In Denmark we have a similar situation. On Bornholm all the foxes died from diseases and the rabbits who escape from garden or were set free started to multiply uncontrollably, as the only land predator on the island had died off. So now there are many rabbits on this small island of Bornholm. And you will not see rabbits in any other parts of Denmark, only the wild hare.
Hm... maybe I should go to Bornholm then. It's a fair bit closer :-)
@@konarciq By all means go to Bornholm, if you're a rabbit. You'll definitely thrive and multiply uncontrollably 😅
Det vidste jeg faktisk ikke!
I live in nearby country, I may visit my rabbit friends there one day
Sooo...
This is how heaven looks like.
No, this is japan!
No this is patrick!
It's not heaven if you are a carrot! Them rabbits be like the bunny of Caerbannog!
This is what hell looks like the rabbits only run up to you because they almost never get feed there is no vegetation on the island and the island isnt completely safe from predators there have been crows spotted around the bunnies and most likely the rabbits will have some kind of diseases and injuries on the island
@beep beep I'm a sheep Your the one being the butt and harassing people, all Bianca saying is true
I wanna live on bunny island!!!!!!🐰🐰🐰🐰
same, they are so cute 😍

Eh love re zero but the anime didnt make me scared of rabbits. I mean there are demon dogs and evil girls it doesnt mean im scared of them lol.
Can’t wait when the cat, dog and rabbit islands collide in a war.

Yet another reason I wanna go to Japan! 😝💕
And cat and fox island too 😂
1:42
An island once known for death, now known for the cute creatures.
It really touched the heart
Why didn't it touch your brain
imagine a guy just going through the road
until you hear a squish
*it was at this moment the guy knew, he fucked up*
What is it with Japan and animal Islands? I mean, there's already a cat one. These people....
there's also a fox reserve
They have over 6,500 islands, why not just fill some with animals?
Madison See this is why Japan is way better than the US
Lol, I hope they clean those cats poop. They stink. But I still love cats
They have got island for fox and dogs too even one for fishes 🙄🙄
"And here, is the factory for poison gas production"
"What's that over there ?"
"Oh, just some rabbits"
The rabbits were the citizens of Hiroshima who didn’t make it out in time
I have another theory
Some rabbits came here for their honeymoon and decided that they like the island
And then they regret their choice.
"Animal testing? Nononononononono, bunnies here because elementary teacher released them into wild."
So I got a Great Big Story ad...
Let's steal some rabbits to our house(:
Turning a reputation for death into a reputation for cuteness is something Japan is very good at.
"Possibly the cutest thing ever, bunnies" 1:43
The title of the video says rabbit but they were bunnies? Never knew
that's pretty awesome
Some people in the comments: the rabbits are actually sick, malnourished and suffer greatly.
Well, guess what, that's how it is in wild nature, only without predators and people sometimes give them a bit of food.
That's a fucking lie. I went last year and all the rabbits were so well fed, they didn't even want the veggies some people brought. Those rabbits own the island and they know it.
@@itsLoriX3 ua-cam.com/video/mP6LHPIW12M/v-deo.html
Yess i hate all the crybabies saying that they have ‘bunny disease’
theyre DOMESTICATED bunnies put in the wild who solely rely o hmans and when theres a rainy day with no humans they starve dumbass
I love this channel. Short, crisp, educative and entertaining videos.
This channel deserves much more for the travels they do and the work they do for the people and for free! :)
Legend says that those who disliked this video, we’re actually lizards trying to take over the cutest island ever
Why is this just on my recommendations? Lol it's been 5 years!
SO CUTE
Need to merge rabbit island with cat island.
+Nospoon53189 omg!
they are so. cite
The cats would eat them

ArrowHeart actually, they'll definitely get along each other like pals.
I want to hug ALL OF THEM!!!!!! And snuggle dem. ooooooh I feel so warm
Actually, the rabbit island in Japan is very sad... I went there in 2018 and it was a rainy day and almost no tourists were there so most of the rabbits were starving, all the grass and greenery the rabbits could eat/reach were gone.. poor bunnies.
Natural selection and overpopulation. It was logical to assume that the vegetation wouldn't be enough to sustain such a large population of bunnies. Kinda sad though since I own a bunny. I hope more tourists will visit and plant some tress perhaps.
That's sad
Guys, these rabbits are actually poorly fed, and they dont have clean drinking water, so they'll have a really low chance of survival :(
Of course, do you think the islander feed them and take care of each individual rabbits? Some do, and the tourist also provides food for rabbits, but some dies, that's just how nature works. They survive because they breed and birthed very quickly.
Its nature
Its Kinda the same like if the rabbits didnt live there
They’re technically wild rabbits, it’s how they basically live in the wild lmao
Don’t listen to Lennon man, I know they aren’t taking care of the rabbits but they’re wild, it isn’t their job-
Guys I know it's just life and nature I'm just pointing that there poorly taken care of, and of course they don't feed every single rabbit, I'm just saying it's sad that they have to live like that.
@@nicecontent3158 I know, I'm just pointing out that it's sad that they have to live like that. Ofc they don't feed all of them, obviously they die, it's just sad that they have to live like that.
I have a disease called "bunny obsessionthidas" meaning I NEED TO LIVE HERE
If that's a tourist destination, I would NOT want to be the guy who has to clean up the pellets from thousands of rabbits.
Rabbit poop is actually really good compost fertilizer makes the ground real happy.
MoroseLoki C.A. You mean the rabbit poop helps plants to grow?
@@twerq yep

@Ok chill bro, chill. If you’re that opposed to bring corrected, you shouldn’t be on the internet.
crazybrickstudios if ur offended leave
@Ok I’m no even gonna argue...I’ve made that mistake with people like you some times in the past. But eh, I’ll just shut up then
crazybrickstudios thanks 😊
I know I've had my heart set on a dog since I was very little & thought I might get one for my upcoming 30th birthday (as I've many disabilities/illnesses & I'm bed-bound almost every waking minute; with no friends for comfort), but it's hard for my mum in her 60's to cope. So; my mum MIGHT meet me half-way ... sort of. She suggested I can have a small rabbit as a companion; & register him/her as a therapy or service animal, if we can follow the proper channels. I have to admit, I'd sooner have a dog (mainly because of "family dogs" I've known & loved, especially for their loyalty); but the idea of having a real-life pet sounds wonderful! I hope my mum is serious, as I'm already thinking of the many ways I can spoil& treat my new floppy-eared pal. I guarantee; this bunny will have constant attention/affection from me. Now I'll FINALLY get a pet I can read aloud to whenever I like! PS- I was just SO excited & HAD to share it with whoever might read this!! 💕✨🐰✨💕
What are you going to do when you're mom can't help you anymore I'm not asking to be mean I am disabled also and have had to adapt get some help to come in and help your mum
Rabbits housetrain very easily, using a litter box like cats do.
Just started small game hunting this island is in my dreams 🤣
Wouldn’t be any fun, they’re everywhere
Because the death story wont bring tourists like a cute school children story...more lies...
Regardless of the story, people will flock there anyways cause it's filled with cute rabbits.
everyone gangsta until you hear a bunny saying PekoPekoPekoPekoPeko
The poor rabbits are malnourished and have dirty water and rely on the tourist to feed them they have nasty Wounds and are sick it is sad to go if you love bunnies 🙁
It's pretty sad but it is probably impossible to prevent that. How are they supposed to feed all of the rabbits and give them all water all while making sure they don't fight. I just wish there was an easy way to fix it.
@@AndyPMusic yeah hunting them would be a smart move before they munch all the plants from the island
Ya i saw one YT video about that
@@skudde4849 How the flip is killing all those adorable bunnies a good solution!?!?
@what we must be Why not just capture some of the bunnies and sell them as pets or release them somewhere else?
I think they are also living in bad conditions for them though and don’t have enough food to feed them all on the island, I don’t know how it is now, but if you go bring a lot of greens and fresh water for them because a lot of them are injured or really hungry with not enough food and water.
The recommendation we didn’t deserve, but the recommendation we needed
I would just try to bring a bag full of cilantro and kale to feed them as well as water.
In the video I saw a rabbit get pushed out of the way when someone was feeding them, I feel sorry for that one.
Ikr
When?
The legit version of Easter Island...because of so many Easter rabbits.
This would make an excellent Pixar film. Bunny Island.
The people who disliked are the people who like to eat rabbits but cant go there
Most of the rabbits there are really sick. Not properly looked after and barley any food. It is cute having a island of bunny's but they where not made to survive like this. This video just hides that badness. Sorry to bring the bad news.
sargam dey
The coyotes be licking their lips
“Ah glad I brought my bike so I don’t have to do so much walk- OMG DID I JUST HIT A RABBIT?”
Question 1, why the hell is there a poison gas museum? Shouldn’t it suppose to be a museum dedicated to the people whose die under those gas?
I just can’t imagine the things they present in there.
Welcome to the gas museum, where it stores all different types of poison gas that can be potentially lethal if there’s a leaking problem.
If you’re lucky we might even give you a sniff
Samples anyone?
I wanna go there just to feed the poor babes..
Bruh, there is already a cat island and now a rabbit island? whats next, dog island?
*sigh* Another reason why I want to live there
haingo rabetokotany check out the fox sanctuary which videos of the rabbit island and cats islands led me too

Dog island. Patent pending
Jeez a story of invasive species
but a CUTE one at that
not all invasive species are bad tho! They tend to be, but they may also have no effect (or a negligible effect) on the ecosystem, or they can even improve the ecosystem for the other organisms.
King Keegster Kay name one that helps the enviroment since most are bad but have no effect.
+Rafael Medina earthworms in North America, although those actually may not be good either. However Japanese white-eye bird in Hawaii have helped a lot of flowers to grow since Hawaii has had a lot of problems from other birds disappearing from Hawaii. A lot of flowers would have gone extinct without the bird.
Ryan Liu Invasive species are species that have a negative impact on an enviorment. As far as I know, these rabbits haven't contributed anything bad towards the enviorment on this island.
Fun fact: the word "kitten" is actually for a baby rabbit and not a baby cat.
Fun fact: ur half wrong
"Kitten" applies for boths cats and rabbits, though most baby rabbits are called "kits"
@@themayo2713 it applies to multiple animals, just like calf.
Kits
Me: see’s thumbnail
Also me: loads shotgun
HOLD UP . You can live on the island? If so..,
IM MOVING
The only problems are the pests. You see, most places have mice or mosquitoes. We have...rabbits
Httyd reference?
I'm getting Re:Zero PTSDs from this video
*Calls my mom*
Me: “ya, we’re gonna need to switch our yearly family trip...., mhmm, trust me, I’ll send you the link””
Many people don’t see what really happened the fact that they dint say that almost all of the bunys are at the end of their life because of dezises, infecciones and because of the lack of food.
Did you see big chunges 😂😂
Thanks for letting us know all these things..
Rabbits in that island are like pigeons in cities
O.O
*dies of cuteness overload*
Darn you cuteness
*Dies aswell*
I recommend watching lennon the bunny's rabbit island video. It talks more about the horrors of how its really like there for the bunnies
Mimi Vang i reccomend resarching the island yourself.
And obviously there will be sick rabbits they live in the wild
BlueCat56 they live in the wild, but they are not wild. they are domesticated rabbits that do not know how to survive like wild rabbits and they get the bare minimum survival skills
Imagine sleeping and the next thing you know a bunny is sleeping beside you
I've seen about this island on Lennon the bunny ,.. they're super adorable,... but the sad thing is that most of the bunnies were injured.
World hunger solved ✔️
I hate you
Pineaple
World hunger is solved when your mom stops eating cause she's fat
I would have no problem taking them all home I LOVE BUNNIES!
the way he said "bunny's" at the end was so adorable
Added to my bucket list
I've always "hop"ed that one day, i would live there
thats so cute
Dicky Kurniawan
Too short!! Me wants more bunny footageeee!!
I've never seen rabbits that have such vibrant colours, they looked like cats...
That's a lot of food running around.
CathyGo lel
yep. i'm hungry,
Rabbit meat is delicious
Never tried rabbit before
i think you just offended my 2 pet rabbits
The rabbit have very much infection and wounds and are starving to death and were sick and are in bad condition so Japan should know it
They are beautiful. I love their colours.
Imagine Lan Zhan standing in the middle, his expressionles face just radiating pure joy
Cuteness overload!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😍
Anytime the Japanese gov says something dark and horrible isn't related to some WW2 effort, it 100% is.
Lots of beautiful rabbits. I love their coat colors. It's like a rainbow of rabbits
1:12 "they bred like well rabbits" hmm
Well it was a crazy ride for them to breed like that
