Penguin Boilers, Cats, and Rampant Rabbits on Macquarie Island

The chapter delves into the comical and chaotic history of Macquarie Island, including a man dressed as a penguin being pushed off the island and the introduction of cats causing havoc among the wildlife. It explores the unintended consequences of introducing non-native species like rabbits and the dire impact they have had on the island's ecosystem, with potential solutions being discussed but not implemented by 1972.
