Humans have taken over most of the world's land, but animals still reign supreme in some places.
We scoured the internet to find the coolest places where animals outnumber humans, or have taken over the land completely.
Whether by horses, crabs, or rabbits, here are 11 places that have been conquered by animals.
Every year on Christmas Island, 50 million crabs trek from the forest to the coast to breed. Their breeding conditions are so specific — it has to be in the last lunar quarter during the wet season — that all the crabs migrate at once. As a result, the island experiences an unbroken wave of crabs.
There are so many crabs that the local government goes to great lengths to help them make a safe passage by installing tunnels under roads to reduce roadkill and fences to lead the crabs to those tunnels. There's also a specially-made crab bridge that goes up and over a road.
A barrier island shared between Maryland and Virginia, Assateague Island is famous for its 300+ wild, beach-loving horses. Local folklore says a shipwreck during the colonial era brought the horses to Assateague, although no one knows for certain.
Cats outnumber people on the island of Tashirojima, with 100 residents and several hundred kitties.
The island's cats have been valued residents ever since the mid-18th century, when the island's locals raised silkworms for textiles, using cats to chase away the mice that preyed on the silkworms. The cats multiplied, while the number of residents dwindled.
There are an estimated 1,200 deer on Miyajima Island.According to local folklore, the deer in Miyajima (also known as Itsukushima) were considered sacred messengers from the gods. Until 1637, killing one was punishable by death. They're still protected by Japanese law today, but not quite as harshly. Although deer are skittish in most places, they live peacefully alongside humans in Miyajima and can easily be pet and fed.
This island in Japan is home to more than 300 wild rabbits, though no one is sure how they got there. Some say students released them on the island, while others say they are descendants of rabbits used as test subjects in WWII. Regardless of how they got there, rabbit lovers can visit the island to play with them and even buy them special food.
Thousands of feral chickens roam the island of Kauai with no natural predators to keep numbers in check.
Local folklore says the chickens are descendants of birds that escaped when hurricanes blew open coops.
Zao Fox Village is home to over 100 free roaming foxes of six different fox species including black foxes, platinum foxes, and arctic foxes.
Entry into the village is the equivalent of five US dollars and visitors are allowed to feed the animals treats.
As its name suggests, Monkey Beach is home to a colony of macaque monkeys that come down from the cliffs to get fed by visitors.
The monkeys are so used to tourists that they aren't shy at all — in fact, they may even get a little aggressive in getting their snacks. The monkeys are also known to snatch valuables like sunglasses, watches, or bags.
Known as "bird island," Runde Island has the widest variety of sea bird species in all of Scandinavia.
During nesting season, more than 500,000 sea birds take over the island, including 100,000 pairs of puffins and large colonies of great skuas, gannets, and shags. The best time to bird watch is between mid-April and July.
The latest statistics show that there are six sheep per person living in New Zealand. That number may seem high, but it is actually down from 1982's historic high of 22 sheep per person. New Zealand's massive sheep population is due to sheep farming, which was once the backbone of the country's economy.
