In 1980, there were about 50,000 feral deer in Australia and by 2002 the population was estimated to have grown to 200,000. Now, the population is likely to have reached more than 2 million.

Saying it’ll be the “next rabbit” etc.

    Lots of little things that don’t like being stepped on, but no really big predators. No wolves, coyotes, bears etc. Dingos, cats and tassie devils only really hunt small stuff.
