Bow down to Arwen, Princess of bunnies.

What if it was a rabbit trying to kill the ptarmigan? Ptarmigan is a type of bird that lives in the Arctic and is related to pheasants.
Bow down to Arwen, Princess of bunnies.
She’s adorable. I know a couple princesses myself.
Unusual ping.
She’s just a lovable little fuzz ball, that’s for sure. : )
Our last rabbit was with us for 11 years. Arwen is still less than a year old, but has taken over the house and our hearts already.
...or maybe it's just an outpatient tonsillectomy.
Our area is infested by rabbits.
And I do mean infested - they are everywhere.
The fox population can’t even keep up with them, and the
fox are very, very successfull at catching the rabbits.
There are just so many of them.
Maybe we need heron (a couple dozen of them anyway).
I have a grey heron living near-by. Visit the brook in my front yard almost everyday.
Mostly he just stands there, but when he decides to take off, what a show!
I’ve seen a Tri-colored Heron in Texas stalk, catch, and eat a rattlesnake.
Oh! Poor little bunny!
I can’t believe the disgusting display of bambiism on this thread.
Herons are predators. (So are humans.)
Rabbits are prey.
Deal with it.
Southern MO has a bluish-gray heron, very large. I’ve seen them on canoe floats on the Current River, and one landed in my 1/2 acre pond out back. Very beautiful.
Well, you know with the gal bunnies, it’s all about land. And if she’s a princess, the whole house is hers.
Baby. Rabbit screams sound like babies crying/screaming.
Rabbits are also domestic pets.
List out your pets, and we’ll discuss how to fry them up, tear them apart, whatever.
You probably don’t have pets that fall into more than one category like rabbits do.
So just STFU. You’d be feeling compassion for it if it was one of your pets. And if you knew anything about rabbits, that one (black) came from domestic stock, not wild stock. Any other coloring than the typical cottontail markings are domestic (pet) animals.
Interestingly, male rabbits looking for mates also sound like a woman screaming. And when sitting very still in the woods,I have had does walk up rather close behind me and scream piercingly, obviously in hopes of making me jump so that they could figure out what sort of creature I was (they tend not to recognize humans who are not standing up and whom they can’t smell). The scream of a deer is more piercing than a human can generate but there are similarities, and at a distance it could easily be mistaken for a woman in great distress.
Neat info. Thanks for sharing it.
