There were various reasons for animals to be introduced into the Australian settlement. The immediate need was food: animals such as cattle, sheep, pigs and goats were introduced for this reason.

Rabbits were introduced much later purely for sport, and after this the fox was introduced to help control the rabbits, and for sport.
