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.

Sometimes bunnies lose. Even Czar Bunnies.
Well... these are *Australian* Rabbits after all.
“Both the flora and fauna of the continent is extremely dangerous, as Death’s Library attests. A book series known as “Dangerous Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians, Birds, Fish, Jellyfish, Insects, Spiders, Crustaceans, Grasses, Trees, Mosses and Lichens of Terror Incognita” extends at least into “Volume 29c Part Three”, while a list of the harmless ones contains only “Some of the sheep.” There are few poisonous snakes in XXXX, the explanation for this being that “most of them have been eaten by the spiders”.”
Or the Rabbits.
