A friend who kept rabbits once asked me to hold one while he cleaned the cage. The rabbit took offense and kicked once. I had two deep parallel cuts the length of my forearm. Predator/prey relationships are complicated.

Think that was more ā€œWatch: Rabbit pummels snake for the murder of her baby.ā€ Did not look like the little one moved after the snake let go.

There were two of them, you can see one of them bounce away at ~:22 The other one looked pretty dead.

Yeah I missed that the first time! Looks like there may have been a couple of others in the grass she was sniffing at too. All I know is that I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that rampage!

I believe this is the sort of backyard-excitement that PokƩmon was intended to simulate.

As a fellow mammal, I cannot help but cheer for the bunny, although that snake seems pretty chill.

Is that Tagalog? Just enough English mixed in.

ā€œAll right, I quit! I’m tapping out!ā€

(snake remembers it doesn’t have arms, can’t tap out).

ā€œI’m such an idiot.ā€

(snake remembers it doesn’t have arms, can’t facepalm).

Anybody know what kind of snake that is? The snake got a few bites in which makes me wonder if the mother bunny survived.

yeah, I got kicked by a rabbit before. Much worse than when my cats try to kick me for rubbing their belly.

wondering that, too. I was guessing an immigrant family, since the children seemed to speak only english, but the father spoke… something?

I had absolutely no idea rabbits could do that.

I also loved when she hauled the snake down off the wall to give it some more.

I had an inkling, since one of the nicknames for my gf’s cat is ā€˜bunny feet’…

ā€œā€¦ that rabbit’s got a vicious streak a mile wide! It’s a killer!ā€
