Question: Where is the wild cat preditor of the European rabbit native to?
Context: The Iberian lynx ("Lynx pardinus") is a wild cat species native to the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe that is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. The Enderby Island Rabbit, or simply Enderby rabbit or Enderby, is a rare breed of domesticated European rabbit ("Oryctolagus cuniculus").  It originates from rabbits introduced to Enderby Island, an uninhabited subantarctic island in New Zealand’s Auckland Islands group, from Australia in October 1865 to serve as castaway food.  Over 130 years the isolated population became a distinctive variety.  The rabbits were eventually exterminated for wildlife management reasons from Enderby Island in the early 1990s, but a breeding group of 49 rabbits was rescued by the Rare Breeds Conservation Society of New Zealand in September 1992.  As a breed the Enderby Island rabbit is not only rare but also endangered due to the large number of hybrids formed with individuals crossing the Enderby with other domestic rabbit breeds. Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world.  There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European rabbit ("Oryctolagus cuniculus"), cottontail rabbits (genus "Sylvilagus"; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit ("Pentalagus furnessi", an endangered species on Amami Ōshima, Japan).  There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with pikas and hares, make up the order Lagomorpha.  The male is called a "buck" and the female is a "doe"; a young rabbit is a "kitten" or "kit". The Rhinelander rabbit is a medium-sized breed of European rabbit from Germany.  They are known for their distinctive facial "butterfly markings", generally of black and orange, on a white background.  Initially developed in Germany in the first decade of the 20th century, they began to be exported to other countries in the 1920s.  Although popular in Germany at first, interest in the breed dwindled by 1930 possibly due to an increase in popularity of the Checkered Giant; however, they experienced a resurgence in popularity after World War II.  Interest also waxed and waned in the United States, where the breed experienced a 40-year absence between 1932 and 1972.  Re-establishment in that country in the 1970s resulted in the creation of the Rhinelander Rabbit Club of America in 1974.  Today, the worldwide population is estimated at less than 2,000 by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, and in Great Britain they are grouped with other rare rabbit breeds in the Rare Varieties Club. A domestic rabbit or domesticated rabbit ("Oryctolagus"), more commonly known as simply a rabbit, is any of the domesticated varieties of the European rabbit species.  Rabbits were first domesticated in the Middle Ages and are used as sources of food, fur, and wool, as research subjects, and as pets.  The male is called a "buck" and the female is a "doe"; a young rabbit is a "kit" or "bunny". The European rabbit or common rabbit ("Oryctolagus cuniculus") is a species of rabbit native to southwestern Europe (Spain, Portugal and Western France) and northwest Africa (Morocco and Algeria).  It has been widely introduced elsewhere, often with devastating effects on local biodiversity.  However, its decline in its native range (caused by the diseases myxomatosis and rabbit calicivirus, as well as overhunting and habitat loss), has caused the decline of its highly dependent predators, the Iberian lynx and the Spanish imperial eagle.  It is known as an invasive species because it has been introduced to countries on all continents with the exception of Antarctica, and caused many problems within the environment and ecosystems.  Australia has the most problems with European rabbits, due to the lack of natural predators there. El gato montés (The Wild Cat) is an opera in three acts composed by Manuel Penella who also wrote the Spanish language libretto.  It premiered on 23 February 1916 at the Teatro Principal in Valencia.  The opera enjoyed great success in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries and was produced in English as "The Wild Cat" in New York's Park Theater in 1921 with Penella conducting.  According to the "New York Times", by the time it had opened in New York, "El gato montés" had already received 2700 performances. Wild Cat Falling is a 1965 novel by Australian author Mudrooroo (Colin Johnson).  The novel depicts the life of a former 'bodgie' as he leaves gaol and cynically searches for purpose in life.  The author leaves the main character unnamed, although near the end, an old man says that this character is "Jessie Duggan's boy."  The novel uses a series of flashbacks to highlight the character's struggle in the past.  "Wild Cat Falling" also shows the effects of the Australian Government's former policy of Assimilation and an Aboriginal's struggle for access and equity in the Australian legal system.  As a result of this "Wild Cat Falling" has been said to be a 'political message'. The Annamite striped rabbit ("Nesolagus timminsi") is a species of rabbit native to the Annamite mountain range on the Laos-Vietnam border.  The rabbit is striped, with a red rump, and resembles the Sumatran striped rabbit.  It only recently became known to Western scientists: striped rabbits were first observed in 1996 by biologist Rob Timmins in a market in Bak Lak in Laos, and the species was described in 2000 and named after Timmins' find.  A 2015 British expedition to the region first captured and re-released a live specimen. The Ocicat is an all-domestic breed of cat which resembles a wild cat but has no wild DNA in its gene pool.  The breed is unusual in that it is spotted like a wild cat but has the temperament of a domestic animal.  It is named for its resemblance to the Ocelot.  The breed was established from Siamese and Abyssinian stock; later, American Shorthairs (silver tabbies) were added to the mix and gave the breed their silver color, bone structure and distinct markings.
