A suburb in the US state of Florida is having to deal with a growing group of domestic rabbits on its streets after a breeder illegally let them loose.

Between 60 and 100 lionhead rabbits have taken up residence in the yards of the suburban Fort Lauderdale community of Jenada Isles in Wilton Manors.
