Here's why:
* Natural habitat: Rabbits are native to various regions across the world, but their natural habitats typically include grasslands, meadows, and open woodlands, not dense rainforests.
* Introduced species: In some rainforest areas, rabbits have been introduced through human activities like farming, pet escapes, or deliberate releases. These introduced populations can have negative impacts on the rainforest ecosystem.
* Impact on rainforest: Rabbits can be destructive to rainforest vegetation by grazing on native plants and damaging root systems. They can also compete with native herbivores for resources.
Therefore, while rabbits are not a natural part of the rainforest ecosystem, they can be found in some areas due to human introduction. Their presence can pose ecological challenges to the rainforest.
