#OnThisDay 1780 Admiral Rodney in HMS SANDWICH defeated a Spanish Fleet off Cape St Vincent, Portugal. After the battle he re-supplied the besieged garrisons at Gibraltar and Minorca. The victory at St Vincent owes much to @RoyalNavy ships speed due to having copper sheath hulls.
Nuralagus rex was an enormous rabbit that lived on the island of Minorca 5 million years ago.

Nuralagus rex was a giant rabbit that lived on Minorca until the Pliocene. After Minorca briefly connected with Majorca, Nuralagus is replaced by Myotragus in Pleistocene & Holocene deposits, suggesting the caprine might have outcompeted the leporid.
