Country fence

Australia - a unique country, which is ideal for any kind of global experiments. Well, that is one of the continent, far from the world, with a set of unique features - natural, biosphere, climate. So they are experimenting. However, sometimes with very sad consequences. Well, look. First, they almost ruined the hell all their unique marsupial fauna with the help of big-eared fans to run, jump and fuck - rabbits. Of course, it is difficult to imagine that the 24 rabbits that were released in 1869 by colonists on will lead through more than 100 years to a population of 600 million individuals !!! 600 million! Rabbits. That at some point devoured the entire south of Australia, making the best pastures in the desert are real. It is understood that 50 years after the first big-eared released into the wild, locals in a panic decided what to do with this trouble. And decided to dissociate itself from rabbits ... fence!

It was assumed that low wire-mesh fence stretched between wooden columns, rabbits can not overcome. And so they say, did not dig under the fence he was supposed to be patrolled by: patrol saw a mink - brought down, dug, filled. I saw a rabbit - fired on it a doublet. So Australians would at least in the west, and to protect local fauna and their fields of rabbit danger. The fence was built to 400 people from 1901 to 1907. During this time stretched three lines with a total length of 3253 kilometers! The main line stretches across the continent.



Here is a map of the fence. Just go crazy!

But do you think the problem with the construction of the fence ended, rabbits peredohli without new pastures, and farmers were able to breathe freely? Fuck!

Firstly, the rabbits began to think about how to overcome the fence. They have learned to dig holes and prolazit under it, and try to discover gaps and holes in the grid. I had to patrol the fence. Created even entire patrol, which is 365 days a year patrolling the fence, repairing it, digging saps and firing all the rabbits that are caught in sight.

To patrol was easier, all along the fence dirt road paved. Carrying a heavy protivokrolichyu service people helped camels - camels drawn buggy clock rode along the endless fence

. Camels also delivered. But Australia is clearly not lucky with importations animals. With the development of technology to patrol the fence began in cars. A camel does not come up with anything else ... how to release them into the wild.

Idiots have forgotten the story of the rabbits!

Now to the issue of a giant rabbit herd from which to defend itself added a huge camel herd!

Of course, verblyudі not reproduce as rapidly as Ushastik, but still they were a new biological bomb with drawn valid.



Due to the lack of natural enemies to our time camels bred so that today in the Australian desert sometimes going two hundred individuals from one well. There, where the herd is not to survive, nothing and no one - even the rabbits. As a result, Australians are now shoot the camels from helicopters, and the fence is necessary to repair even more intensively, because the camels are larger and heavier than rabbits, so easy to break through the gaps. But the story of the rabbit does not end there, I just distracted.

The fence does not prevent rabbits to breed and continue to the middle of the last century, their population is beginning to approach 1 billion individuals. It was necessary to urgently do something.

You will not believe, but against them even used a biological weapon: the rabbits were artificially infected with myxoma virus. This has led to a serious reduction in the rabbit population from 600 million to 100 million. But pretty quickly in rabbits developed a genetic resistance to the virus, and already by 1991 the number of population has recovered to 200-300 million.

In general, today the opposition of people and rabbits continued.

Incidentally, the photo can be seen side effects protivokrolichego and protivoverblyudnogo fence - numerous corpses of other animals, which can not migrate out of the fence and leaning into it, forced tens of kilometers of travel in search of a way, stumbling in the heap, hurting and dying in the wild heat without water.

In total, more than 100 years there is this giant fence, his heavily patrol today, reseeding with camels on SUVs and ATVs. The annual cost of his estimated at about 10 million Australian dollars.



But there is in Australia, another giant fence - protivodingovy. 5320 kilometers. It is located in the south-east Australia.

Dingo was brought to the continent much earlier rabbits, they could run wild and love lamb. In the era of farming of wild dingo dogs have become a real scourge of Australian farmers, sometimes cutting the whole herd of sheep.

Therefore them also a vegetable garden fence, it is also actively patrol and shoot all approaching dingo fence ...
