4. There are two types of rabbits: rabbits that eat only grass and rabbits that eat only berries and flowers. A drought occurs one year and the plants have difficulty producing extra parts (flowers, berries, etc.). They can only try to keep themselves green. The rabbits have had babies all year long but many are eaten by foxes or hawks. Due to the drought, many have starved to death.
