Combating feral rabbits in Australia

Former research scientist Dr Brian Coman talks about the ways rabbits have influenced his life, from a source of childhood pocket money to the focus of later work as a field pest controller. Dr Coman explains how poison bait layers -- including an example now in the National Museum's collection -- have been deployed to combat feral populations of European rabbits in Australia's farmlands. Recorded at Lanyon Woolshed on the Murrumbidgee River, near Canberra, June 2013. More: www.nma.gov.au/explore/collec...
