Paradise for Rabbits Found on a Japanese Island

Okunoshima island, locates in the Inland Sea of Japan in the city of Takehara, is known as the paradise of rabbits. Photographer Michael Yang visited the island and took these interesting pictures of bunnies living happily there.

The island was developed as a park after WWII. Some say the rabbits were the ones used in the chemical munitions plant to test the effectiveness of the chemical weapons during WWII, but some disagree. Murakami, the former director of the poison gas museum, said the current rabbits have nothing to do with those that were involved with chemical weapon tests. Some believe the school kids on the island let loose the rabbits and they quickly multiplied due to a lack of predator on the island.
