luv2eatpuss79 I hope the bunnies are fenced out of the tennis court. Not cause I wouldn't want them to interfere with a game but I wouldn't wanna accidentally hit them with a tennis ball in a game. D:

Today this island was on Japanese TV show as "Rabbit Island attracts foreign tourists", but they didn't mention about island's historical background. Recently Japanese people and government has put effort to make themselves look better to gather more foreign tourists. I think this video is educational not only for tourists but also for Japanese people. Thanks for sharing.

Great video! I’ve suspected that the rabbits got to the island by being used for chemical testing, and either escaped or were released and then rapidly multiplied. Many of the colors and patterns they have are not really seen with wild European rabbits, suggesting these rabbits mostly or completely came from the domesticated rabbit. While a domesticated rabbit normally released in the wild survives less than 24 hours, the lack of predators on this island has allowed them to thrive. The behavior also suggests these rabbits come from a domesticated line. If the rabbits just like to lay down and watch people, that’s highly similar behavior to the house rabbit as watching movement & interaction is something they enjoy immensely. Their willingness to lay down and jump in the lap of people is also similar to house rabbits accustomed to significant interaction with people and without fears of predators. With rabbits symbolizing affection, socialization, vitality, and future hope, I could not think of a better symbol for turning the page from what was once a place of death, suffering, and loss.

I came here because someone posted a "bunny feeding frenzy" vid on FB but left with much more than I ever expected. Thank you for doing such an interesting vid about the story of the rabbits and the island. Who knew?

Bunnies are always more active during twilight, during sunrise and sunset. I have a house bunny and he's always lazy during the day but hyper active during early morning hours and in the evening :)

Oh and the running in circles is a behavior used to show affection and mating intent. If a rabbit runs circles around your feet, it means "I like you" or "I am going to mount you later", and sometimes both. The jumping upwards in the air and kicking/jerking is called a "binky" and is a dance of happiness. They only display this behavior when they are happy, content, and relaxed with their settings.

Zac Paul you sound way too familiar with rabbit behavior in a rather binky kinky way ... glad I'm not one.

I had a pet bunny who past at the age of 15yo. He ate carrots, popped pop corn, lettuce occasionally, turnip greens, potatoes chips, cookies too. Not all the time but as a treat. My kids were feeding him that junk but our vet said his health was good. He died of old age.

Podobnie z ujęciami, obrazującymi ten kontrastowy świat. Fabryki produkujące broń masowego rażenia i raj dla królików.

Hi Kasia and Krzysiek! I just started my adventure with TheUwagaPies, but I know I will stay here longer. On the begining I watched a few accidental vlogs from different periods of time - now I start from begining and this video is amazing. You show dualism of this island - cute tourist attraction with striking knowlegde about past, I feel this deep inside. This is good material - give us some emotions. Thank you for it. I hope so you will be well and do what you love. I cross my fingers for that.

It's really interesting. I'm glad that you do so many beautiful things in the internet Krzysztofie but don't you think that one more canal isn't too much for you? Well, when you look at this it's clear to see that if these film will be on Krzysztof Gonciarz no one not from Poland could find it. All of your new creations are very nice but there's one thing I have to say - KIEDY ZAPYTAJ BECZKĘ?! P.S. Sorry for mistakes in writing.

I would never guess that island like that could be real. It leaves very mixed feeling: there is a lot of cute animals but on the other hand this place have really grim past that you can feel when you look at abandoned buildings etc. I look forward for unique content like that.

Thats a really intresting piece of documentary you did there Chris. I love it. Keep it coming please.

Wow. Interesting place. Nice job on your video. Thank you for sharing.

Obyvvatel says: "Those insect noises in the background are loud as hell" == It's Cicada screaming. It's a part of the Japanese landscape in the summer except maybe in Hokkaido. People are so used to it, they would miss it if they stop screaming. lol Since most of Japan are mountainous once you step outside the town the noise is deafening.

Great video. Keep up the great work!

People are, I agree. I enjoyed watching this to help cope with the loss of my floppy holland lop to cancer.

Not being feminist or conflictive here, but a male perspective on this question would be helpful to students who ask me this.

Tori White In a domestic setting this is true but from what I heard the lifespan of rabbits on the island is very short... only 1 to 2 years. The food people bring is not really good for rabbits. The need mostly pellets and hay. Carrots are bad for them and things like cabbage have little nutrition. I am sure they have maintenance people who remove dead rabbits while refilling their water bowls.

Super materiał! WINCYJ!

I hope theres plenty of edible grass/hay in that Island to feed the rabbits in times that they need to eat. Since carrots are treats too much of it is not good, Cabbage as well may cause bloating of their tummies because rabbits are not able to pass gas so it is not good as regular diet. Long live rabbits, may God bless this lovely creatures. by the way credits to the makers of this clip I appreciated it. Thumbs up!

good material :)

I don’t know which is worse the fact that there is rabbits near poisonous gases or the fact that if you can see some of the rabbits in the video they have broken ears broken foot and really really sick

Great video. But I can't help but wonder who cares for sick bunnies and what is done with them when they die. Is there a bunny cemetery?
