Killer rabbits attack snakes

A PAIR of rabid rabbits has been caught killing a series of snakes near Cairns.
For three weeks Armando Del Manso believed his dog was responsible for the dead snakes showing up with teeth marks all over them on his East Barron propertys lawn each morning.
But it turns out it was a pair of rampaging rabbits killing the snakes.

The 42-year-old boilermaker first made the discovery Tuesday night when he spotted the two wild rabbits attacking a king brown snake.
The snake was raised up in the air in the striking position and the two rabbits worked their way around him and killed him in two minutes, Mr Del Manso said.
Im gobsmacked, its absolutely incredible.
We were watching from the veranda with a spotlight, and I thought, who is going to believe this, theyll think Im crazy.

Clearly, there are Rambo rabbits out there. In S. Korea, there was a report on a rabbit living in a Buddhist temple, where many stray cats happen to roam. During the day, it is a cuddly nice rabbit, friendly to visitors and monks. At night, it turns into a Rambo, attacking anything approaching it, including friendly monks. It spends night right in the center of a courtyard. Flat ground within 30 feet radius. That way, cats cannot sneak in and ambush it, I suppose.

My guess is that we will hear this is tied to global warming somehow.

Oh no...I wonder if he is the descendant of the killer bunny from the Holy Grail...
Kind of cool though...

Killer rabbits?
Curious that this should come up the same day as Jimmuh Cartah makes a fool of himself. Conspiracy, me things.

Too bad the bunny didn’t eat America’s hemmorhoid.

Right. In large numbers, they could attack anything. Times are certainly changing when rabbits go ‘rabid.’ :-)
