Rabbits Overrun Nelson Mandela’s Jail of 18 Years
Inundated by rabbits, Robben Island in South Africa, will close for several weeks as officials cull the local population, BBC News reports. The island is home to the prison where former South African President Nelson Mandela was held for 18 years.
According to officials, the rabbit population has become so unwieldy that it endangers the island’s vegetation and historic buildings.
