Nice!
Those don't get as far east as Georgia, though, or Jimmuh would have had a heart attack.

Senior wildlife manager at the Cairns Wildlife Safari Paul O’Callaghan said he’d never heard of rabbits attacking snakes before but that didn’t mean it wasn’t possible.
“Animals are capable of learning, and it’s not impossible that these animals have learnt to deal with snakes in this way,” Mr O’Callaghan said. “They’re certainly taking a risk doing it though.”

Literally rabid? Or just plain hopping mad? No rabies in Australia. Just BunnyBadassitude.

Got into a kick fight with some kangaroos when they were kittens?

Instead of Pitbulls, the ‘hood punks could be using Peter Cottontails.

I am an underdog guy, I am glad these rabbits aren’t taking crap from the snakes. It IS Texas after all. Rabbits probably are just saying “We’re not going to be prey for you, we’re TEXAS rabbits.”

Those are actually a type of rabbit HPV wart that are picked up in the wild. They are treatable and they will eventually shrink and go away.

A few years ago I had a fellow Texan send me a video of a Texas Jackrabbit attacking a rattlesnake. The rabbit drove the snake into a tree and then left. In 1964 at Laughlin AFB, Tx, a Texas Jackrabbit attacked a military dog at the South Gate...it sent the dog packing.

Good enough for humans.
HPV = Hare papilloma (sp?)virus not human PV?
I don't even want to know how rabbits get the human form.

Those were rabbits with some kahones. Normally they will not do such things unless they are cornered and really have no other choice but to fight.
I like the rabbit mentality. You tend to keep to yourself, always alert to what’s going on around you, trying to live and let live, and if trouble comes your way first try to get the hell out of there, and if that isn’t possible, you fight like hell and make sure the other guy won’t ever do that to you or another one again.

That’s Lepus Pretty Damn Biggus.
But not quite Lepus Gigantus. Give him a few more generations and check back in.
I watched Night of the Lepus in Jr. High and NOTHING I’ve seen here approaches the nightmares I suffered in the 70s. NOTHING!!!!
I need counseling only the public option can provide.
