Thousands of cute, cuddly rabbits like the one pictured here are having quite an impact on the Scottish Island of Canna. These critters, estimated to number around 16,000 (compared to the human population of 12 on Canna). The rabbit burrowing was blamed for a landslide that blocked a road on the island, and the rabbits have created other problems, such as digging up bones in the local cemetery. Officials say the critters will need to be culled, much as they did with a rat infestation that affected the island in 2006. [Source: Yahoo News via USGS Landslide Events. Image: Freepix]
