just like being there in person.... :D
Enderby Island is one of the Auckland Islands down in the subantarctic. The rabbits were released there in 1865. There is information about the breed and their current situation on the New Zealand Rare Breeds website (the New Zealand Rare Breeds Society is a sort of offshoot of Willowbank Wildlife Reserve)

The above photo shows the indoors part of their enclosure. Its not terribly inspiring. You can see one of the rabbits sitting behind the cut-out penguins. The burrows lead to outside aviary-style cages.
