What? Where? How? you might be wondering.
The video is from episode 1 of the YouTube channel My BB Bunny’s Bunny Island series, filmed on the Japanese island of Ōkunoshima—or Usagi Jima (“Rabbit Island”), as it’s affectionately known.

I know what you’re thinking: “Can I visit Bunny Island?” Yes you can! There’s also a poison gas museum on the island you can check out, and even a hotel you can stay in, albeit just the one.

Or the Caribbean island run by pigs that swim all day?
Just be careful while you’re booking that vacation, lest you accidentally wind up on komodo dragon island instead.
