I moved to Levittown in April. And if you had offered me 1 Million dollars to guess what was the most comon animal I would see in the wild I would never had guessed Rabbits.

But there must be at least 11 different rabbits in my neighborhood alone. 1 to 2 are hanging out on my lawn every night and mourning. I see at least 4 on my way to work.

Whats the deal? Did this happen recently or have there been that many rabbits in LI for years? I'm told levittown is not the only place that has then running wild.

Have you seen any racoons lately? Probably not. That's why there are so many rabbits - the racoons used to keep them in check.

LOL...............the bunnies have always been on LI.... and bunnies being bunnies....well.. they'll continue to be there.

Bunnies are about the only thing on LI that haven't changed since I was a kid... and that's been a long time!

I've seen at least 20 rabbits around Merrick since I moved here. I never ever thought we'd see a rabbit heree! We used to live in Manorville so we saw our share of wildlife but I never expected it in Nassau.

Have you ever eaten rabbit? Very tasty. Consider the rabbits a gift to be feasted on.
