Wild rabbits have been busy conducting archaeological work on an island off the coast of Wales. According to the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales that manages Skokholm Island (also called “Dream Island”), the rabbits dug up a 9,000-year-old tool from the Stone Age as well as a 3,750-year-old piece of pottery that is believed to have been part of a broken urn from the Bronze Age.
While similar objects have previously been discovered on the United Kingdom’s mainland, this is the first time that they were found on Skokholm Island which would suggest that ancient humans did inhabit (or at least visited) the island at one time.
