Answer:

During month 6 there are three mature rabbits, which give birth to three more rabbits. Those, plus the two immature rabbits yields eight rabbits, total.


Month Six

Eight Rabbits

 Month
12345678910
Female
Rabbits
112358    

In any month N, the number of mature rabbits (all of which will give birth) is the total number of rabbits under month N-2.

In the picture, all rabbits born in month 4 or before give birth to a baby (labeled month 6).

To get the total number of rabbits for month N, add the number of births to the total number of rabbits in month N-1.

In the picture, add the number of babies (3) to the number of rabbits born month five or earlier (5).
