Twenty rabbits arrive on an island covered in grass. More rabbits have more babies: a reinforcing loop.

But rabbits eat grass, and grass takes time to grow back. Hungry rabbits have fewer babies. You decide how many foxes live on the island.

Goal: From month 24 to the end, keep the rabbits between 200 and 400, and never let the grass drop below 300.
