Birdchick Blog: Bunny vs Snake

Bunny vs Snake

Remember the bunny chasing the crow that NBB posted a few months back? Well, reader Sandy sent a video that blows that act of bravery out of the water (this one has a happy ending for the rabbit):




I like the meadowlark in the background observing the smackdown going on the yard. Maybe that's why Cinnamon is so keen to chew on power cords, she's trying to chase snakes out of the apartment.

The guy's voice makes it even funnier.
Go, brave bunny!

Actually, I'm kind of floored by the fact that goofy music and a laugh track were added to that footage. I was supposed to laugh? Because, wow, I SO didn't find that funny!

I think it is a male bunny... and it's spring... (or summer, fall or winter for that matter) He just wants to *luv* the snake; anything that moves will do.

I get the impression that this was on one of those funny home video shows. I muted the soundtrack.

I love this video and find it funny because it's blowing up wild animal stereotypes. We normally see an image of a bunny and snake (or video) and the outcome is not in the rabbit's favor. Here we have a cute rabbit chasing off the snake--I've never seen that scenario end in well for the rabbit before.

I think this is a female defending her nearby offspring. It's nice to know that experienced rabbits are more than just cute, furry food.


I wonder if there are any videos of rabbits chasing off raptors--perhaps bunnies know their limitations.
