Recoveree?
The healed lesions on this rabbit's ear suggest recovery from myxomatosis. However, the face is free of lesions, so I am a little uncertain. Some rabbits do recover from myxo, and when they die out and an immunologically immune generation takes their place you will get another wave of myxo doing what it is supposed to do... keep down the rabbit numbers.
As an illustration of the harm rabbits do to the natural environment in Australia, I watched this fellow through my lens while it munched on a little tree shoot that has emerged since the rain.
