The rapid population growth of wild introduced rabbits between 1859 and 1905 was due to their high sexual reproduction rate, lack of predators, diseases, and competition for resources.
O rápido crescimento populacional de coelhos introduzidos selvagens entre 1859 e 1905 deveu-se à sua alta taxa de reprodução sexual, ausência de predadores, doenças e competição por recursos.
