The Watership Down rabbits removed an additional 0.1 nanometers constructing their warren, although that was mostly soil. British rabbits have historically mined very little coal; the sole rabbit-run coal plant was shut down in the 1990s.

Islay Scotland has burned a shitton of peat over the last couple of centuries to make malt whisky and it's very small. Wonder how much if their elevation they've burned?

While peat regenerates, it does so slowly, so they might actually have burned off some measurable elevation (on average)
