Probably just a simple explanation for Andrew's deranged wabbits.
Probably comes from living in the swamp.

Invasive plagues?
Maybe relates to climate change, but I have noted an increase is
nature attacking. There was a story in the paper about a deer out
clubbing in the nightlife district a few weeks ago. Middle of
downtown, rollicking Friday night around 1am with drunks, hookers,
club bands causing a ruckus, and Bambi is right at home.
Last summer had a massive incursion of fluffy tail wabbits with no
fear of humans. Middle of the day hopping slowly and munching on
gardens. Nights were worse, with marauding packs of the beasties on
sidewalks and streets. Beady little eyes all aglow when you hit them
with headlights. And all manner of raised gardens enclosed in wire cages.
A few years before was the plague of snails. Non native sort. Escaped
from chinese flower pots? I had not seen the sort in 40 years of
playing in the gardens. Slugs abounded, but these new mollusks were
gathered in crowds under all sorts of shaded areas. Lots of weird
shell designs, makes you think they were following the gender confused
vibe.
Now, I am seeing a creeping moss overtake the gardens and walk ways.
This stuff is not the slow growth type that I would pressure wash
every decade or so as it slowly thickened. The new stuff is fast
growing, velvet smooth and not the emerald greens of the native type,
but a vibrant kelly green. Comes on in mats on pavement and retaining
walls. In two months! Very much like the plague of disposed junkies
and other un-homed in Seattle.
